It's either too early, or far too late,
for you to be calling me to say,
"What did I do?", and "[...] not like you", and always with your,
"I love you."
And so I said,
"Misty do you think it's wise
to sit around talking to me about your guys?"
And so I said, "I'll wish you all the best, and I'll help you if I can but
you need to know:
That I am just through
With letting you do
So tell me do you
Do you get that I am over you?"
And never did I ever think I'd see
you in this place where, so desperately,
you need someone who understands;
but what you really need, Misty, is a friend.
And so I said,
"Misty do you think you're smart?
You sit around laughing in disregard." And so I said,
"Misty you can tell me in the morning that you're lonely, but
here's the truth:
That I am just through
With letting you do
So tell me do you
Do you get that I am over you?"
And so now,
Misty do you understand
that everything we do is part of a plan?
And if you don't get it, that's ok
cause you never really got me anyway.
So I am not blue
Yeah I am just through
So tell me do you
Do you get that I am over you?

Las Vegas Nights

I see sin on every corner,
but somehow it's hidden by a cross on a door
The broke and broken are all you'll find,
yet somehow they'll shoot up just one more time
There's no one to talk to, no one to avoid
These lights are blinding, I guess that's the point
Set your sights on clearer skies, and move along from Las Vegas Nights
Move along from Las Vegas Nights
Empty people on crowded streets
The empty taste of a quick defeat
You won't find comfort and you won't find love,
but if you want regret we've got plenty of
No regret we've got plenty of
There's no one to talk to, no one to avoid
These lights are blinding, I guess that's the point
Set your sights on clearer skies, and move along from Las Vegas Nights
Move along from Las Vegas Nights

Movin' Down to Texas

I did not know that you felt this way,
that you were tired of living in your pain
So you ended every level of our ever living love,
only telling me that you'd had enough
And I said, "No.." but you turned away,
you packed a suitcase, and moved to my city
Now I'm broken and unbandaged, I'm bleeding out from you
All you said was, "Sorry", but that I should move on too..
It's easier to say that, you're the one who moved
You know you misled me, it was easier on you
You can say you love me, but I don't think that you do,
so I'm moving down to Texas
just to
get away from you
And I did not know, but I knew his name,
I knew his face, and your motive all the same
Now I'm broken and unbandaged, I'm beaten and I'm bruised
I'm just left out hanging, hoping that this all ends soon
You can call me crazy, but I know that isn't true,
The evidence is blinding when I'm not blinded by you
You can say, "It's nothing", but I don't think that's the truth,
so I'm moving down to Texas
just to
get away from you
Well,
Even though it's over I am not all doom and gloom,
Helplessness is hopeless, so I'm moving on from you
You once said you loved me, I hope that you were true,
cause I'm moving down to Texas
just to
get away from you

Pray for Me

I guess I see a little bit of you inside me
That urge you purge to say those 3 little words
And I feel like my heart quit, so I spit a line or a verse to prove to you
I'm happy just to hear the way that you're saying my name
And I know it seems ironic, cause I'm a bit demonic,
but if you say a prayer for me, I'll come see
My faith, it seems, runs a bit like how I'm breathing;
Instincts, distinct, to the life that we're perceiving
My heart's like a kick drum, I hit none, but I keep a beat the same
Maybe if I go to my knees then I might see that light that's so iconic and allegedly hypnotic
But if you say a prayer for me ask that I might see
It's hard to think about that fire burning
You can hide desire, but you cannot hide forever
I burn, I yearn, I'm starving inside cause I know that something has to be right
These are very trying times, and I need a guide
Won't you take my hand Maria, cause you know I kinda need ya
Well I could use a favor you see, won't you please pray for me

Waste Away

Well you know I like you and what you do,
But you just keep on loathing in all your self abuse
When it's shallow, it's easy. It's all you'll ever need
When you're lying on your ass watching life repeat
And you could've changed your mind
But you're too stoned to notice that you're living on the sideline
And you said, "Man I'm fine"
But you don't seem notice how you're slowly wasting your life
Well if all you do is nothing, what do you think you'll be?
Cause you're so damn self conscious it's amazing you don't see
How you're lonely, unhappy, and totally depressed
But you can't help but wonder why you're such a mess?
And you said I'm not right
But I'll let you in on something:
You just gotta try
And you said, "Man I'm fine"
But you don't seem to notice how you're slowly wasting your life
Don't throw your life away
Don't throw it all away
Don't throw your life away
Please not today
Don't throw your life away
Don't throw it all away
Don't throw your life away
Please not today
My friend, I'm here to say:
It starts today
