Happy Pretty People

from Of the Dusk, In Between by Luxury Eviction

lyrics

In the garden
Giving, taking
You thought you made a bargain
A little tit for tat
So maybe you'll come again

Did you trade for
Beauty, truly
For something you thought might last?
A little nip for tuck
So maybe you could erase the past

But it's hopeless hanging on a word
On a life you can’t afford
A promise that comes to never
Because when it’s all said and done
It's a fool’s errand
Dreaming that you could feel at home
At peace in your bones

I carve your letters
Digging, pulling
Through the bark of me
Fossilized romanticide
Will surely turn the tide

But here’s the deal we’re
Striking, writing
The truth to be revealed
If all the happy, pretty people
Are even real

Just when you think to drop your guard
When it’s your turn to discard
You’ll find it’s not enough
And just when you think you're in the clear
You’ll have yourself to fear
What is or isn’t in the mirror

So hey is that you
Begging, pleading
To make a bargain
This fella’s mask is slipping
Falling and slipping and pulling off again

Maybe if we strike a deal
The secret will reveal
That all the
Happy, pretty people
Aren’t actually real
