The Joke And The Gentleman

Reason (The)
(album: Ravenna)

So pucker up and kiss the ass that you would kill to kick. Because I hate to see you suffer, but it´s the toughest of it that keeps my bones thick. I wonder what it takes to be a man. I take a look at my reflection, and then I look at you. I still don´t understand. Suck it up and chill, the beat goes on and on, my friend. I know reality is a bitch, but buddy, where were you when she needed you then? Do I even have to say? Considering everything that you said but not once to me. If we´re taking this to war, I sing a song of battle. I can feel it in my throat, but buddy I´m not wasting all my time. Until then, we´ve got a score to settle. Every promise that you broke will be the words you choke on. If you grow up, I´ll watch my back if you watch where you spit. I´m the king of confrontation, but something tells me that you´re just not worth it. So laugh it off or take your shot. The cuts can hurt so bad. I´m giving this the best I got, ´cause this is the best I´ve ever had... If anything should happen there´s something you don´t want to witness. This is passion. This is my gut reaction. If anything should happen, son, it´s on. Don´t you forget this. It´s over. Watch your winter turn colder. It´s over and your December is that much colder.
