Tell Her Before I Do

still wear the sweater I bought you
still have everything I gave
do you tell her where it comes from?
or do you just play dumb?
or is she really that dumb?
tell her before I do
say you don't think about me
explain your pity party
drunken graveyard shift streams
don't mend my broken dream
my broken dreams
tell her before I do
I say I've learned to live without you
I don't know if that's true
we can both lie
we can both lie
we can both lie and say we don't care
explain that to Becky with the Shit Hair
tell her before I do

year of the rat
year of the rat
fuck around and find out
how am I supposed to griece
when you won't fucking leave?
the never-ending nightmare
that was once my xmas dream
you better keep my name
out of your filthy mouth
wanna push my buttons?
fuck around and find out
when did it get so desperate?
time to recall the light
to your lonely room
I'm quite frankly
fucking SICK of you
how am I supposed to grieve
when you won't fucking leave?
you better keep my name
out of your filthy mouth
wanna push my buttons?
fuck around and find out
So when is it over?
Disaster in your wake
you make all of us pay
for your big mistakes
you wanna push my buttons?
fuck around and find out
how am I supposed to grieve
when you just won't fucking leave?

we're kindred spirits
cos we like the same shit
but that's not
real connection
you'll never be
far away from me
I question how
I let it go so long
what if we're not wrong?
you'll never be
far away from me
I'm not sorry
I loved you
I'm not sorry
I love you
I'm sorry
you couldn't be
what I need

it's not fair
I'm ripe right now
I'm in my prime right now
but I'm an empty vessel
I wish I were older
I wish I were younger
I wish I were
any time before or after
so this feeling would pass
(this bruise's nectar)
it's not fair
I'm ripe right now
I'm in my prime right now
but I'm numb
and I can't be touched
I could love
but I can't be touched
it's not fair
I'm ripe right now
I'm in my prime right now

Consummation

Never a bride
Never a prize
Never never say
Never never say yes
Never never say yes
Whatever it was
I wasn’t enough
Not ‘enough’ enough
Wasn’t up to snuff
Wasn’t tough enough
But was there when you needed me
(when you needed me)
That’s an awful long time
To drag someone along
Never a bride
Never a prize
Never never say
Never never say yes
Never never say yes
Now it’s too late
Now I am too old
Too retraumatized
To be legitimized
To be so comely yet so wasted
(comely yet so wasted)
Consummation
A consolation prize
Am I adult enough
Cos I can’t be touched
So I can’t check off
That sacrament?
I’m impure
so my
White dress is stained
in blood
They don’t care
They don’t care
How I got there
Never a bride
Never a prize
Never never say
Never never say yes
Never never say yes
(never your bride)
(never your prize
(never never say)
(never never)
(never never)
Never your bride
Never your prize
Never never
