Instant Pretty by The Kite Machine Lyrics
I don’t sleep the way I used to
Limited by the spaces in between
Find a curve, twist a nerve, and you’ll see what I mean
It’s ok to let me down
Hold my head above the waves this time around
I woke up to the sound
Of history splitting on the ground
And those memories are mine
Tell me why you’re instant pretty
Walking in a distant city
Think about a future brighter
Drinking for a memory lighter
Tell me why you thought this ended
When you kept the world suspended
No one ever said forever here
We don’t need the indecision
Feeling like we’re running out of time
Check the facts, love attracts, and we’re riding the line
It’s ok to cut the cord
Try to use a sharper knife than you did before
I woke up on the ground
Naked at the edge of town
Your bodies on my mind
Tell me why you’re instant pretty
Walking in a distant city
Drinking for a memory lighter
Think about a future brighter
Tell me why you thought this ended
When you kept the world suspended
No one ever said forever
Though we thought we’d stay together here
It’s coming back to me
This weary atrophy
And I know it’s dragging you down
We addressed today
What I knew yesterday
And I swear you’re blurring the lines
I’m trying to trace
This is the point
I’m trying to make
Before we burn ourselves alive
[Slower Part]
Remember missing me on
Christmas morning when I
Slept across your borderline
It seems like so long ago
When the words that you wrote
Held the weight of your heart
Without it falling apart
Now that you’re out of my head
My ears are ringing again
I hope you love someone else
And feel the way that I felt
When everybody had left
It was the silence we kept
And I just wanted to talk
Yeah, I just wanted to talk
(See you in the morning)
(And all through the night)
Let’s start this fire tonight
We’ll set each other alight
Because I want you to lie
Say everything is alright
Where’s all the empathy gone?
Why did this take us so long?
You see the irony right?
Cos it’s not lost on me
Limited by the spaces in between
Find a curve, twist a nerve, and you’ll see what I mean
It’s ok to let me down
Hold my head above the waves this time around
I woke up to the sound
Of history splitting on the ground
And those memories are mine
Tell me why you’re instant pretty
Walking in a distant city
Think about a future brighter
Drinking for a memory lighter
Tell me why you thought this ended
When you kept the world suspended
No one ever said forever here
We don’t need the indecision
Feeling like we’re running out of time
Check the facts, love attracts, and we’re riding the line
It’s ok to cut the cord
Try to use a sharper knife than you did before
I woke up on the ground
Naked at the edge of town
Your bodies on my mind
Tell me why you’re instant pretty
Walking in a distant city
Drinking for a memory lighter
Think about a future brighter
Tell me why you thought this ended
When you kept the world suspended
No one ever said forever
Though we thought we’d stay together here
It’s coming back to me
This weary atrophy
And I know it’s dragging you down
We addressed today
What I knew yesterday
And I swear you’re blurring the lines
I’m trying to trace
This is the point
