Pretty Little Distance - As It Is

I want to cross stitch shut my eyes

Wage a war on the world outside

Brace the barricade in my mind, but that’s alright

I stretch the truths 'til they lose shape

As support beams bend and break

Watch reality’s slow cascade, but that’s alright

And I’ve been thinking…

Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?

I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay

Why look twice at a beautiful existence?

Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?

I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay

Why look twice at a beautiful existence?

I watch the sun dry out the grass

Hear the silence shatter glass

Feel perfection swerve and crash, but that’s alright

Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?

I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay

Why look twice at a beautiful existence?

Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?

I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay

Why look twice at a beautiful existence?

Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time

Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time

Go!

Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?

I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay

Why look twice at a beautiful existence?

And that’s alright…

Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?

I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay

Why look twice at a beautiful existence?

Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?

I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay

Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
