Lyrics

Why the long face?

Nah, don't, don't pity me

Just learn from my mistakes

Yeah, that's it

Yeah, check

Man, I'm pissed off

Splitting decisions and listing them as forgiveness

Is the reason why I'm gripping on these twist-offs

First off, I am more than one

Forged from the daughters that have had fought for sons

And nick-nacking, train hopping and a gorgeous gun

Yeah, that stays hidden, most of 'em just ignore the love

That they're given, no kiddin', I was bored of 'em

Till I found the sword to the page, hit the Lord above

I tried ignoring the pain like a thorn in thumbs

Yeah, so what's the fun? And where's the drugs?

And what's the craic if the craic ain't enough?

I need a stamp, then I'm up

But I've been feeling down

'Cause all I ever needed was my mama and the sound

Really felt like I had neither

Now I'm stuck another dreamer

I was looking for a Mona but she's smiling at Lisa

Just igniting a feeling I only like in the evening

For now, it's a Sprite and the night's ever fleeting

Man, I miss a life that I hardly ever see

And yeah, yeah, so tell me

Why the long face?

And why the long days?

See, I'm caught inside this place

Turning mirrors till I fade

Come on, come on, come on

Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up

Answer the fuckin' phone, man, come on

So what's a friend if they never answer?

I try to lend just a little bit of my past life

So you can learn from my wrongs just until you see right

I've been looking in the tunnel, but I never see light

I read, I write, then I re-write these lines

I wait aside just so I can catch it when the ink dries

Just a flicker of the flame, caught it singing in the moonlight

Light, light, light

I could never think of their names, so called them just a fool's night

F7 to a queen's knight

But I never checked mates

Man, my best days were sweat-stained, stages turning pages in my life

Dear God, I need a reckoning, but can you sort me out tonight?

Yeah, can you sort me out tonight?

Yeah, 'cause I ain't feeling alright

No, no, no

I spilled the tea on my whites just so I can leave the site

I cut lines on the kites just to keep the twine

I cursed minds with defiance, what a hopeless crime

Fine, I get it, I gotta get outta my mind

Godson's blasphemy ironically timed

See, the best in me is bad to see, I'd rather be crying

'Cause I still feel my past disease shadow the child

Sometimes I sit and ponder if it's better if I

So why the long face?

Young in an older man

Boy made of matchsticks

Discarded ashes

See, I'm caught inside this place

I was caught from a limb of my mother's hand

Told them I can't hack it in a room made of plastic

Until I saw a young boy an older man

A heart that's elastic, my mind so erratic

I wish they gave a chance just to understand

Swallow his feelings with a drink in

So why the long face?

Young in an older man

A heart that's elastic, my mind so erratic

I wish they gave a chance just to understand

Swallow his feelings with a drink in

You don't understand, yeah

You don't understand

You don't understand

But, you don't understand, yeah, yeah

Man, you don't under
