Milk & Honey Lies are kind Truth is ugly Wrap it soft around your mind Pretend you’re lucky Sun too bright Eyes stay empty Smile wide for the camera While the ground gets heavy Everybody says it’s fine Everybody says “just wait” But the sweetness on my tongue Got a bitter, bitter taste We’re living in the land Of milk and honey Sticky hands Nothing’s funny Dripping gold But it won’t save me Say it slow Don’t you lie to me Mask your fear Paint it pretty Drink it down like medicine Call it mercy Feels like summer in my veins Feels like rot under the skin Everybody wants the dream Nobody wants to let it end We’re living in the land Of milk and honey Sticky hands Nothing’s funny Dripping gold But it won’t save me Say it slow Don’t you lie to me Lies are kind… Truth is ugly… Still I want it Still I see
