Cute Is What We Aim For – Lyrical Lies lyrics

A old man gave me a tip he said
?don't waste your time with politics? he said
?just chase skirts instead?
?life is too short, and your almost dead? he said
?I met a woman once, I gave her my best shot?
?but never did I talk?
?if I had her back I'd be as real as my age?
?I so don't blame them, I wouldn't do the same?
?but I can blame them, I'd Sing her this?

you want to be dressed in poetry
but imagery doesn't fit
and you want resizing
but darling dear get a grip

and I think what I just wrote is going over my head
I'm stealing lines from myself
And what I said was never said
Its just a lyrical lie
Made up in my mind

And you want to be dressed in poetry
but imagery doesn't fit
and you want resizing
but darling dear get a grip

you're moving but not aware
your're drowsy without a care
except keeping your whites behind your lids
and your lids are your best canvas
I can only imagine what your painting
And your body on my mattress is proof
And your makeup on your pillow is proof
But do you think I am telling you the truth

And you want to be dressed in poetry
but imagery doesn't fit
and you want resizing
but darling dear get a grip
