Don't make me pretty

✨Don’t Make Me Pretty✨ [Verse 1] Leave the edge on leave the bite I don’t need a cleaner kind of light Keep the rough part in my voice I didn’t get here by sounding nice [Pre-Chorus] If you sand it down it won’t survive some things need cracks to stay alive [Chorus] Don’t make me pretty don’t polish me blind I need the dirt in the rhythm and the crack in the light Don’t make me pretty don’t clean up the sound there’s a pulse in the damage that still hits the ground [Verse 2] Wrong turns taught me where to stand I learned the weight of my own hands I don’t wear scars for the show they just tell me where not to go [Pre-Chorus] If you sand it down it won’t survive some things need cracks to stay alive [Chorus] Don’t make me pretty don’t polish me blind I need the dirt in the rhythm and the crack in the light Don’t make me pretty don’t clean up the sound there’s a pulse in the damage that still hits the ground [Bridge] Let it be crooked let it be loud let it have teeth let it leave a mark I don’t need perfect I don’t need new I need the part that still cuts through [Final Chorus] Don’t make me pretty don’t polish me blind I need the dirt in the rhythm and the crack in the light Don’t make me pretty don’t clean up the sound there’s a pulse in the damage that still hits the ground Don’t make me pretty leave the edges on if it still has teeth then it still belongs © 2026 by Naristix.
