Long Goodbyes Lyrics
Hey everybody, have y'all lost your minds?
Haven't met another gentleman in quite a long time?
No pleases, no thank you's, no opening doors, seems like all the gentleman jumped ship, become assholes & whores.
No respect, expect disrespect, it's eclectic, make everything sound so hectic.
As if the rat race wasn't won, by society's coming undone.
I'm tired, not stupid, reputation, not lucrative, enough I guess, no, enough not yet, well, emotions writing poems,
hide the rhymes, constantly change time, talk about lies, loved & lost, long goodbyes, styles change
So did I, so did I, long goodbyes, long goodbyes.
Change the subject to love, come so close the smell hangs in your lungs.
Haven't died trying, can't keep from prying, how'd you do it once before, amidst, assholes & whores, assholes & whores, assholes & whores.
Emotions writing poems, hide the rhymes, constantly change time, talk about lies, loved and lost, long goodbyes, styles change
So did I, so did I, long goodbyes, long goodbyes
Funny you get tired of daydreams, & midnight screams, getting your heart pulled out with a tractor beam.
Hurts just as much or more as the first time, the last time, the worst time, stylistic, artistic, aristocratic, fanatic, stopped a few steps short of just gosh damn fucking fantastic.
Work of art, straight from the heart, heard it all before, shook you straight down to the core, leaves you gasping, & gasping, & thinking you wanted more.
Heard it all before, yeah, I've heard it all before, yeah I've heard it all before, I've heard it all before, if I haven't heard it, I've heard it all before
Long goodbyes, yeah
Long goodbyes, yeah
Long goodbyes, long goodbyes, long goodbyes
Say a long
Say a long, say a long goodbye

Long goodbyes, yeah
Long goodbyes, long goodbyes, long goodbyes
Say a long
Say a long, say a long goodbye

it's about how everyone in our society has either become an asshole or a whore and how we all need to learn some manners so we can live in a better world.
