Beautiful World

from God's Ugly Teeth by Anthony Presti

/

lyrics

If morning's for the birds
then love is for the wake
It leaves us when we sleep
And passes through the day

Oh, what a beautiful, cruel and fucked up world

If morning holds the truth
Then I'd rather stay asleep
For all the years that I waited
Until the night she came to me
And in that sleepless night
There was a feeling of hopeful fright
That maybe morning would skip
And finally we would win

Chorus

Still I envision all these pretty things
your pale snowy skin
Colored by the ink that
we were mended by
Our hearts shaved into a shrine
A sculpture made of petty ice
that melted when we said goodbye

If morning's for the birds
Then I'd rather never fly
for I'm not an early riser
but nocturnal through the night
and it's unfortunate for me
but the sun won't ever leave
There's always one guarantee
That the birds will always sing

what a beautiful, cruel and fucked up world
