"===Not So Pretty Now===The studio version of the song was finally released on March 20, 2009 as part of the ''NINJA 2009 Summer Tour'' EP. The recording dates back to the ''With Teeth'' era. Texturally and melodically, this song has a somewhat similar feel to both "[[The Collector]]" and " [[Getting Smaller]]", but with a more upbeat garage rock style. It is ~~not on any commcercial release~~driven by a chunky, distorted bassline and a post-punk revival type drum beat. The choruses during the second half feature richly layered harmonies.

== Lyrics ==

You ~~let them~~ like to open it up real wide

Then you let everyone come inside

There's always something you 've got to hide

So you lied and you lied and you lied

Make sure you grab everything that you need

You got a hole that you 've got to feed

Keep trying to fill it all up with your greed

But it bleeds and it bleeds and it bleeds

Go Well go take a little more

We'll scrape you off the floor

We love you anyhow

Nobody burns quite as bright

Well goddamn, maybe you're right

There's always battles ~~all~~ left for you to fight

And you might, you might, you just might

But there is something I 've got to say There is a price you're ~~going to~~ gonna pay

Try as hard as you can to stay

~~But you~~You're just fading, and fading~~, and fading,~~ and fading the fuck away

Go Well go take a little more

We'll scrape you off the floor

We love you anyhow

But you're not so pretty now

Go Well go take a little more

We'll scrape you off the floor

We love you anyhow

But you're not so pretty now

Go Better turn the lights down low

The cracks begin to show

We ~~love you anyhow~~ ~~But you're not so pretty now~~ ~~Soon you will be gone~~ ~~We will~~ all ~~be torn~~ We love you anyhow

But you're not so pretty now

Well soon you will be gone

And we will all move on

You never mattered anyhow

And you're not so pretty now
