lyrics

The best thing that I ever wrote was a letter to my mother
Written with my left hand
Stating I want to use other parts
Of my brain
Feels like I’m only using 10%
Now I’m relentlessly scratching some mosquito bite
And I miss those thoughts

I cannot not sleep, cannot sleep
I have to save the world from evil misery
Cannot leave, cannot leave
8 hours are expected of me

That letter never reached my mother and had no return address
It is missing, yet
There’s nothing lost
A prize can take up no space, and fill an eternal heart

Save mean’s set free, don’t you think?

I cannot not sleep, cannot sleep
All the heroes unite and hands in on 3
Cannot leave, cannot leave
8 hours are quickly disappearing

It’s 9 o’clock in Las Vegas
I wish she still was in Las Vegas
She was in Las Vegas
She was

It’s only 9 o’clock in Las Vegas
I wish she still was in Las Vegas
She was in Las Vegas
She was

It’s only 9 o’clock in Las Vegas
I wish she still was in Las Vegas
She was in Las Vegas
She was

It’s only 9 o’clock in Las Vegas
I wish she still was in Las Vegas
She Was

So delighted that Angel is finding that "hard won acceptance" that she sought and hope that her future path is one of authenticity. This work is one marked by melodious but not overwrought emotion, striking an intuitive balance of warmth and skill. hailhumanists
