In the city of angels and bad decisions
I was a lost kid with a pretty addiction
Running through the night, chasing fake gold visions
Smiling for the camera, hiding my condition
You got that feeling I crave
Cheap thrills, late nights, promises you never gave
Put your hand in mine, don’t let me fade
Me and heaven had a fight, so I dance with the waves
Nobody’s gonna steal my fire away
I’m living like a ghost in a Hollywood haze
Driving past the signs to a place I can’t name
Singing “yeah, this is chaos, but I love this game”
I was an angel with a broken halo
Trying to look rich in a world full of shadows
Life’s a movie and I’m stuck in the same role
Searching for a heart in a city made of gold
You got that medicine for my soul
A little bit of love just to make me whole
I don’t need saving, I just wanna lose control
If I’m going down, let the story be told
Nobody’s gonna steal my fire away
I’m living too fast but I’m feeling okay
The night keeps calling, I know my name
Lost my innocence, but I found my flame
When you talk, it feels like a scene from a dream
Like nothing is real but everything screams
If I change my face, if I change my ways
Would you still want me at the end of the day?
Nobody’s gonna steal my fire away
I’m chasing the sun through a hurricane
Love me like a stranger, remember my name
I’m beautiful damage in a beautiful game
