Only Beautiful

from Five Bitter Prayers EP by Ryan Gibson

/

lyrics

You're ugly in the way you smile at other people's pain
While my dreams get flushed away down the landlord's drain
And you're horrid in the sense that you measure me in dollars and cents
It was a fact you kept secret when we were just friends.

You're only beautiful when you dream
You're only beautiful when you sleep
You're only beautiful.

My heart has grown cold, and your tears are getting old
'Cause they're only a last-ditch effort at getting control
And you're wretched with concern to all the credit you feel you deserve
And your bright hopes for our future are fucking absurd.

You're only beautiful when you dream
You're only beautiful when you sleep
You're only beautiful when you dream

I'm only happy when....
I drive through the morning mist and for a moment forget I exist
With a song upon my lips and you are not there.

I'm taking off tonight while you sleep
We'll both be better off when I leave
You be a brave girl and forget me
Like I was only a trail of vapor in your dreams.
