The Actor Lyrics by Grey Zeigler

Pray For Me

0

[Intro]
Vocals up a little bit, maybe?
One, two
[Verse 1]
Ask me about my mom, I'll tell you she's a monster
Ask me how I grew up, and I'll tell you that I suffered
Ask me what I found my dad doing, no wait
Ask me who I felt my dad doing
Everyone knows how many times that I've cheated
Everyone knows all of the people I sleep with
Every knows all of my dirtiest secrets
I never kept them a secret
[Pre-Chorus]
I pride myself on honesty
But that's not what you saw
The day that you met me
[Chorus]
You saw my hand tattoos were just armor that I wear
You saw my no new friends were in case "nobody cares"
And it made me feel safe
And it made my heart sink
Realizing maybe I'm not as real as I think
[Verse 2]
I say I'm direct, you say that I'm rude
I say that I'm a mess, you say it's something that I choose
When someone gets surprised by the way that I'm acting
I swear I never do it for their reaction
[Pre-Chorus]
You smile and say, of course you do
And I wanna get so mad
'Cause I know that it's true
[Chorus]
That my "against the grain" is me afraid I won't fit in
That my "it didn't hurt" is just because it really did
And it made me feel safe
And it made my heart sink
Realizing maybe I'm not as real as I think
[Bridge]
Mmmh
You say I'm not real in my songs
Is this real enough for you?
[Chorus]
You see my "I'm the shit" is really "I feel like I'm not"
You see my "hate the world" is just me being mad at God
And it made me feel safe
And it made my heart sink
Realizing maybe I'm not as real as I think
