Prettier in the Dark - Alina Simone

There was a meaning to the messages tonight

I like to fill the room up with voices

Grabbed my keys,

Remembered to turn all the lights off

Went to meet chaney by the bodega

She’s my favorite because she came up with the rule

That when you fall in love with two people

Choose whoever you knew first

Because history is important, a simple rule but true.

It’s simple but it’s true.

So take a slow slow dive from this city in the sky

And make a holiday out of wednesday.

Like it while like it while all my friends are here.

Everyone’s prettier in the dark.

Where your reinstones are real as diamonds

And your plastic solid as gold in chandelier eyes,

Chandelier eyes…

Why does our little group of overachievers

Take so long to fall, to fall,

To fall in love
