LEXI - Pretty lies

Lyrics by me. Music made with Suno. I saw him standing by the rusted gate A heavy quiet in the way he waits He's got a look that makes the daylight bend Like a story with a bitter end He doesn't talk about his past at all Just marks his height against the crumbling wall I think I recognize a jagged edge The way he's walking on the narrow ledge He's just like me A little twisted, a little freak The kind of dark I want to be He's got a fever in his hollow eyes A perfect match for all my pretty lies We sat together in the basement low Watching how the cold and poison grow He likes the parts of me I usually hide The messy secrets that I keep inside He says the dirt is where the flowers start He wears his damage like a work of art I touched his hand and felt a sudden chill The kind of quiet that can make you ill He's just like me A little twisted, a little freak The kind of dark I want to be He's got a fever in his hollow eyes A perfect match for all my pretty lies Maybe we’re headed for a slow decline Tracing our scars on the same fault line But I'd rather sink into the deep Than lose the secrets that we mean to keep He's just like me A little twisted, a little freak Maybe that's why he gets to me I see my damage in his hollow eyes No need to dress it up in pretty lies With him I don't have to hide
