Made Too Pretty



We bear your name,
And you let us say
You are something that you're not.
As if you were made after we saw our own faces,
And knew we were gods enough.

I think we were made too pretty.
We're caught up in a stare we cannot break.
We know nothing changes too slowly.
Someday we might come down,
But who's to really say?

And if we are the body,
How'd the pretty men get so ugly?
How'd he get all these spaces between each limb?
And if there is one thing bigger than my head,
That's the distance I've been mislead.

'Cause I think we were made too pretty.
We're caught up in a stare and we can't break.
We know nothing changes too slowly.
And someday I might come down,
Oh, I don't wanna come down.
I think we became too pretty.

We don't want a God we don't see in ourselves, don't see we're in need.
We don't want a God we don't see in ourselves, don't see we're in need.

I think we were made too pretty.
We're caught up in a stare and we can't break.
I think we were made too pretty.
Yeah, so much we don't see it yet.
We don't see it.

We know nothing changes too slowly.


Made Too Pretty
As Cities Burn
