I'm in a conflict with the irony
I've tried to do it by myself, but there's no 'I' in 'team'
And all my problems feel like a lousy apology
And every person's standing several steps in front of me

I try to catch it, but the journey doesn't feel like it's worth it
And there's another road in my mind that just looks like it's perfect
But I'm too reckless, and I barely sleep
I guess that's irony

I've been told no one sleeps in Hollywood
Everything doesn't feel like it should

I've got so much left to sacrifice
Is all the pain a way to make me find some paradise?
If I didn't want this in my life, it would be easy
Get a little comfy, close my eyes, and then I'm fifty

But I've been told no one sleeps in Hollywood
Everything doesn't feel like it should
And I've been drinking dreams as if it's whiskey, but it's bitter now
They just chew you up for something sweet, and then they spit you out
I've been told no one sleeps in Hollywood
And I tell myself they'll miss me, but I can't seem to remember how
Taking double meanings like I'm looking for a little doubt
I've been told no one sleeps in Hollywood

Who is the person I'll live up to?
Says he's gonna do all of these things, but then they fall through
Either I'm a sellout or a burnout, but that's up to you
In a couple years, am I still playing shows in my bedroom?

'Cause I've been told no one sleeps in Hollywood
Everything doesn't feel like it should
And I've been drinking dreams as if it's whiskey, but it's bitter now
They just chew you up for something sweet, and then they spit you out
I've been told no one sleeps in Hollywood
And I tell myself they'll miss me, but I can't seem to remember how
Taking double meanings like I'm looking for a little doubt
I've been told no one sleeps in Hollywood

I've been told no one sleeps in Hollywood
I've been told no one sleeps in Hollywood
No one sleeps in Hollywood
