pretty dresses

spending wages on illegal highs but the pain comes back, we never fly
but wear pretty dresses
one more bottle
living our lies
drunk with impossibility
pick pockets of dark nights for sleep
20 steps from the heaven we want to reach

waste time comparing ourselves
don't look in that mirror while passing
judgement
on someone else
false laughter, plastic faces, hollow tears
can't wake up but we're not asleep either
pretty dresses in rainy weather
pretty dresses make us feel better

lovely pink rooms for vicious gossip
who's not good enough
who never got it
forget factor of circumstance, manufactured
romance
high class , low self esteem
forget passion or diversity 
go change your holey jeans you'll fit perfect in these pretty dresses 
after all who needs self respect 
with all our pretty messes

no thank you my holey jeans feel perfect for me
