Mysterion Mixtapes: Leavin' Sin City

Leavin’ Sin City

Verse 1

There's a sign on the highway, pink and gold and wide,

Says WELCOME, says COME ON IN, says leave your grief outside.

No clocks on any wall in here, no windows, no sunrise,

Just the devil and his promises and the hunger in your eyes.

My mind was built like Vegas, baby, lights on every floor,

Every table open, every appetite wanting more.

I been sitting at that table since I can't recall when,

Pressing every button just to feel alive again.

Pre-Chorus

But the house always wins, and I know that now,

And I've been paying rent to the devil, Lord, I can't say how.

Something's gotta give, something's gotta break,

I got one good road left, and it's mine to take.

Chorus

I ain't gonna let the neon tell me who I am,

I ain't gonna feed the devil every time he runs his hand.

I found my way through the dark and I found the light of day,

I'm done with all that glitter, Lord, I'm walking away,

Pack my dust, leave my sin,

Shed the city from my skin,

Find the road that leads me back to who I used to be,

Yeah, I'm done, I'm gone, I'm finally free,

Yeah, I'm Leavin' Sin City.

Verse 2

The devil doesn't come in flames, he comes in letting go,

He says you've been so good so long, he says: “tonight's your show.”

And I listened, Lord, I listened, but I heard him wrong for years

I mistook the blinding glitter for the thing that disappears.

Bridge

Listen

The devil doesn't own you , he just sublets what you lend,

And every bet you place in there's a message that you send

I don't trust the quiet. I don't trust the still.

I need the neon running just to prove I'm real.

Final Chorus

I ain't gonna let the neon tell me who I am,I ain't gonna feed the devil every time he runs his hand.I found my way through the dark and I found the light of day,I'm done with all that glitter, Lord, I'm walking away,

Pack my dust, leave my sin,

Shed the city from my skin,

Find the road that leads me back to who I used to be,

Yeah, I'm done, I'm gone, I'm finally free,

Yeah, I'm Leavin' Sin City.

I’m Leavin' Sin City.

Leavin' Sin City.
