lyrics
Man child has a child
Not a man, let alone a man of his word
Little bird chirp chirp
But it’s not the sweetest sound you’ve ever heard
I dipped in the ink again
‘Cause my pen was writing thin
Ain’t it absurd?
Once, twice, a third again
Don’t touch the twin, he’s poison
You’d think I’d have learned
You think I’d have learned
Number two was bigger once
Number one the biggest
Still I was never fazed
Number one has come undone
Two is withering away
And both are half-crazed
What the hell was I thinking
Going after number three
The worst in some ways
Scattered unpredictable
Promises the moon in full
And then never pays
Now I’m through trying to collect
None of you knew you owed a debt
No more will I attempt to bleed
The tapped out twins are not for me
Man child’s still around
But I broke my quill in half
And kept him at bay
But he still pretends to drool
Hoping I will be the fool
Believe what he say
But I am much smarter now
Man, I cannot believe how
He falls for each stray
Each more mangy than the last
How could I be such an ass
To think he had taste
What a f*cking waste
Now I’m through trying to collect
None of you knew you owed a debt
No more will I attempt to bleed
The tapped out twins are not for me
All you unattainable ones that I seek
You’re all just killing time ‘til I’m ready
Don’t think that what we once did feel was real
To me you’re all just ghosts now disappear
‘cause I’m through trying to collect
None of you knew you owed a debt
No more will I attempt to bleed
The tapped out twins are not for me
You’re not for me…
Not a man, let alone a man of his word
Little bird chirp chirp
But it’s not the sweetest sound you’ve ever heard
I dipped in the ink again
‘Cause my pen was writing thin
Ain’t it absurd?
Once, twice, a third again
Don’t touch the twin, he’s poison
You’d think I’d have learned
You think I’d have learned
Number two was bigger once
Number one the biggest
Still I was never fazed
Number one has come undone
Two is withering away
And both are half-crazed
What the hell was I thinking
Going after number three
The worst in some ways
Scattered unpredictable
Promises the moon in full
And then never pays
Now I’m through trying to collect
None of you knew you owed a debt
No more will I attempt to bleed
The tapped out twins are not for me
Man child’s still around
But I broke my quill in half
And kept him at bay
But he still pretends to drool
Hoping I will be the fool
Believe what he say
But I am much smarter now
Man, I cannot believe how
He falls for each stray
Each more mangy than the last
How could I be such an ass
To think he had taste
What a f*cking waste
Now I’m through trying to collect
None of you knew you owed a debt
No more will I attempt to bleed
The tapped out twins are not for me
All you unattainable ones that I seek
You’re all just killing time ‘til I’m ready
Don’t think that what we once did feel was real
To me you’re all just ghosts now disappear
‘cause I’m through trying to collect
None of you knew you owed a debt
No more will I attempt to bleed
The tapped out twins are not for me
You’re not for me…
