State of Occurrence - Long Way Home Lyrics

Taking the long way home

I can't wait any longer
The twitch in my spine says "quit"
It's fists versus open hands
My heart against my mind
I'm sick of halfway
It breaks my heart to see all that could have been
It's no longer a question of left or right
It's forwards or stop

Taking the long way home
Taking the long way home

The spotlight leaves no room for honesty
So honestly, I don't need your love
I have enough

Sex, love, rock and roll
My life on a pedestal
Maybe I'll start to act
Become the white Gambino, never look back
It I want it I'll have it
My checkbook never leaves the black
Roll onto the red-carpet in a beige Volvo
Why?
I've always loved being different
I've always counted the cost
I won't wear your T-shirt because of what's in my heart
I've never sold out to anything but you
And that never got me home
If I get lost you'll be there to take me that long way home

Taking the long way home
Taking the long way home
