Pretty Lies

(album: Creatures In Your Head - 2021)

I cup my hands to keep my words safe
Been finding love in the worst places
Killed a couple stories off
Like I'm not enough
Maybe I lost the plot

Tongue-tied around the bitter fruit
Who am I after tasting you?
Little fires on the passenger side
I could tell the truth
Or I could keep telling pretty lies

Keep telling pretty lies
Keep telling pretty lies

I keep the secret safe
Sick in a secret way
Telling a pretty lie
Ugliest way to die
I killed a story off
I got a new pen
God talking, who's there
I need a new prayer

Asleep at the wheel again
I took an ambien
I love the ambiance
I swear to God I'm lost
Face to the sunset
Back to the sunrise
Cruising one hundred
Dotting on closed eyes

Tongue-tied around the bitter fruit
Who am I after tasting you?
Little fires on the passenger side
I could tell the truth
Or I could keep telling pretty lies
I could tell the truth
Or I could keep telling pretty lies

Keep telling pretty lies
Keep telling pretty lies
Keep telling pretty lies
Keep telling pretty lies

I don't wanna keep telling pretty lies to you
