I’m back with another set of lyrics that was originally intended for the band UNSUN. You can read the original post (with explanation and first set up lyrics here).

And so, without further ado, here are the lyrics for “Pretty Mess”.

A cloud of fog dissipates
The sky, the world comes down
From the desolate, barren cityscape
The broken and tragic are found

They crawl on polished fingers
Death’s pale beauty their only truth
Beneath perfect skin it lingers
Breaking bone and rotting tooth

Come alive
Play outside
Show your party dress
Moan with me
And all will see
You darling pretty mess

Begin again
Make amends
Your love is my death
Look inside
My blinded eyes
You darling pretty mess

With fragile breath and bloodshot eyes
She leads the deadly dance
Through streets of ruin her siren song
Begs the living take a chance

No laughter anoints the living few
No joy or heart’s content
The darkling girl would die again
And spread her sickened scent

Come alive
Play outside
Show your party dress
Moan with me
And all will see
You darling pretty mess

Begin again
Make amends
Your love is my death
Look inside
My blinded eyes
You darling pretty mess

Pretty
Pretty Mess
Hide yourself
Within your dress
Pretty
Pretty Mess
Damnation born
In beauty’s death
