Waste the Nights Away
Larry Wells Jr 2003 (Nevada)
Away with thoughts of today
Delay my plans, set them for another day.
Before was a better time, never was a bore
For if only then I'd known, but I didn't. Or
Maybe I did, afraid of what I might see
Be even if fancy took, yes it was. Cause we
Should have had it all, at a price many could
Would have justified, but me. I withstood
To what end, for what it cost me was you
Few have come close but you closer still. Do
I count my losses, curl up and die
Why I waste the nights away. I don't try
Standing up on my own, I sulk wanting
Dying to feel something else.
