Consistent competition

This silent cold war inside

We emptied rounds of angry words

But we both know we lied

 

I feel strangled by my own voice

I can’t get it out

I can’t hear what you say to me

my heart beats way too loud

 

You act like you don’t know me

I act like I don’t care

But my eyes are throwing daggers

And it kills me when you stare

 

I know we need to leave this here

I can’t keep drowning in this liquor

My shaky hands can’t hold the gun

So you’ll have to pull the trigger
