Act Like You Do

Got tight fists and stiff wrists, what you do to me
For a tight throat a stiff drink is my sole remedy
Swollen eyes, sleepless nights, I have got used to
Like when you say you love me but don’t act like you do
Beg me not to leave, do nothing for me stay,
pull me close to you, then push me away
Tricked by your gas light, I fall for your excuse,
go back for more of your abuse
You keep saying sorry, that you don’t mean to hurt me
If that’s true you would do anything that I could see
How may times can I fall for dishonesty?
It’s because I love you, that I let you trick me
Won’t hold my breath for eternity
Waiting for the man you promised me
Beg me not to leave, do nothing for me stay,
pull me close to you, then push me away
No idea what you have put me through
When you say you love me but don’t act like you do
Went down swinging hard, but I was the only one
who fucking cared enough about me to cut and run
Now I know, I love me more than I love you
and I finally found strength to act like I do

Consolation Prize

All your ghosts haunt me… All your ghosts haunt me!
Knew you’d come with scars, we’ve both suffered pain…
you’ve got open wounds, spewing blood you can’t contain
Break up came up premature, staying friends is “so mature”
Reality is you can’t take pain that comes with a clean break
The time it took my heart to crack, realize you’d always hold back,
Carry a bag of dead weight ‘cause you can’t clean your slate
Didn’t see the flag bright red now it’s way too late to separate
my aching heart form my hard pounding head, from my pounding head!
Your heart ends the dotted line, ex marks the spot
She’s the one that got away, I’m the one you got
See it in your eyes I’m your consolation prize,
consolation prize
Stashed the body in your basement, carried on with a replacement
Fill the round hole in your heart, square peg doesn’t fit the part
Death by far away stares into a life with what’s downstairs!
Didn’t see the flag bright red now it’s way too late to separate
my aching heart form my hard pounding head, from my pounding head!
Your heart ends the dotted line, ex marks the spot
She’s the one that got away, I’m the one you got
See it in your eyes I’m your consolation prize,
consolation prize

Inside Out

You can sit with a lie, think everything’s ok,
forget there’s something wrong, 'til you hear me say
I am drunk with fatigue - don’t think you know what’s best
you don’t know what I need, never get what I’m about
Turn me inside out, turn me inside out
When you can’t see what’s wrong, don’t know what’s going on
Dealing with ignorance, way too burnt out for all this
There is nothing wrong, you said, think it’s all in my head
When I know with out a doubt I’m inside out
Just because you can’t see what is wrong with me,
doesn’t mean I’m fine, doesn’t mean I’m fine
Just because you can’t see what is wrong with me,
doesn’t mean I’m fine, it doesn’t mean I’m fine,
no, it doesn’t mean I’m… fine
I’m stoned with starvation, been staring at the dark
and listening to silence in isolation
I’m tripping on air and falling on excuses,
see things that aren’t there, no cuts or bruises
Turn me inside out, turn me inside out
Counting tiles on the ceiling, pity has left me feeling
fragile like paper cut out, live in fear of the fall out
There is nothing wrong, you said, think it’s all in my head,
when I know with out a doubt I’m inside out
