lyrics

We sit in pairs.
We toast a white dress and a suit.
The table's plastic underneath its decorations,
So are you.

Hyperbolic handshakes
With someone I used to know.
Conversation over
When the words arrive too slowly.
Humans have the strangest celebrations.

We synchronise.
We smile at all the scripted times.
The drinks cost 3x more
But they make us 3x happier inside.

Question cycle spins
I thought these people were my friends.
Conversation over
When another one begins.
Humans have the strangest celebrations.

This day's built
On your Dad's guilt,
And words conceived
But never spilt.
I want to go home.

You disappear.
Take off your white dress and his suit.
Your friends are faking fun,
Just settling for anyone.
And so are you.

This day's built
On your Dad's guilt,
And words conceived
But never spilt.
It should have been me.
