Pretty Things

I've lost how much time I've wished
Pushing sand between my toes waiting
For the waves to push the foam past
Sand Dollars that will make me rich

Crying silver tears of dimes that drip
Into the canvas of my mind
That is becoming lost
Right before I fall in love

If I collect enough beneath the stars
That ripple past, the memories
That break the surface over,
That break the surface over,
That break the surface over, all the pretty things

I know right now you cannot see
You close your eyes in disbelief
Surrounded by the pretty things
That tell ya who you're supposed to be
and...

All the while your smiling
and asking for another drink
to wash on down those memories
of how to live in society
and..

Oh..... I feel alright
and Ohhhh..... I'm better now
Oh..... I feel alright
and Ohhhh..... I'm better now

Standing on the edge of a cliff
Made of soft mud that makes me sink
Into the world as I
Watch the sun go supernova

As I take a sip of honey
From a cup held by an angel
He says don't be scared you'll be just fine
That time is just unwinding

You'll love forever in a dream
Where minds don't mean anything
I'll reap your soul so carefully
And put it next to pretty things

I know right now you cannot see
You close your eyes in disbelief
Surrounded by the pretty things
That tell ya who you're supposed to be
and...

All the while your smiling
and asking for another drink
to wash on down those memories
of how to live in society
and..

Oh..... I feel alright
and Ohhhh..... I'm better now
Oh..... I feel alright
and Ohhhh..... I'm better now
