Lights out
I still hear the rain
These images that fill my head
Now keep my fingers from making mistakes
Tell my voice what it takes
To speak up
Speak up
And keep my conscience clean when I wake
Don't make this easy
I want you to mean it, Jasey
(Say you'll mean it.)
You're dressed to kill
I'm calling you out
(Don't waste your time on me.)
Now there's an aching in my back
A stabbing pain that says I lack
The common sense and confidence
To bring an end to promises
That I make in times of desperate conversation
Hoping my night could be better than this in the end
Just say when
Don't make this easy
I want you to mean it, Jasey
(Say you'll mean it.)
You're dressed to kill
I'm calling you out
(Don't waste your time on me.)
I've never told a lie
And that makes me a liar
I've never made a bet
But we gamble in desire
I've never lit a match
With intent to start a fire
But recently the flames
Are getting out of control
Call me a name
Kill me with words
Forget about me
It's what I deserve
I was your chance
To get out of this life
But I ditched the car
And left you to drown
Wait outside
I hope the air will serve to remind you
That my heart is as cold as the clouds of your breath
And my words are as timed as the beating in my chest
You're dressed to kill
I'm calling you out
(Don't waste your time on me.)
