Consolation Songtext
von Elliott Green

You think you′re gonna fix me?
You can't even help me
Some consolation out of pity
I′d rather be alone than let you think
That you're doing this for my sake
When we both know what's really at stake

I see how I embarrass you
If you feel better I′m embarrassed too
The barstools on your birthday
I guess I don′t belong there anyway


When you know I'd only make a mess
So try to tell me that it′s for the best
The fairer weather always has to end
Now that it's pouring you can′t understand

That nobody's gonna save me from me
No holy water′s gonna make me clean
And I can live without your sympathy
Don't think I can without another drink

I know you only ever want me
Some shining beacon of recovery
You hold a candle to a life lived clean
And I'll burn it all down pouring gasoline

Cause nobody′s gonna save me from me
No holy water′s gonna make me clean
And I can live without your sympathy
I don't think I can without another drink
