The Soiree

You find yourself pitched, drained to a pit
Of whatever that crushes you
Usually there's someone up top
With what looks like some rope, it's not
It's just for appearance
They'd make it with twine
But didn't have time
Too busy planning their outfits
To prove them a hero
They hold you down 'til they break your will
Everybody is taking pills
There's all this pity we give out of sequence
Let's just have a party, it's far more convenient
All of the guests have arrived too early
There's not enough sympathy to go around
I should have had it catered
The excuses are stocked
The snacks aren't your fault and are certain
Regardless of what you want to eat
Take a dip in the pool
The sorrows feel fine and besides
They'll drown you eventually
We'll all have some whine
And feel conscious of time, existentially
And look down our noses
To those we find simpler
They hold you down 'til they break your will
Everybody is taking pills
There's all this pity we give out of sequence
Let's just have a party, it's far more convenient
What are we supposed to do
Until then
Seriously
Ugh
You put so much effort in forms
Pitch curves, depths and nobody notices
Let yourself slip, make a mess
Harm, break and suddenly
Everyone's watching you
It's not your fault
It's just conditioning
We all love a good wreck, I know I do
We'll stop and stare
Watch them peeled out
We all love a good wreck, I know I do
I'll have one, right now
They hold you down 'til they break your will
Everybody is taking pills
There's all this pity we give out of sequence
They hold you down 'til they break your will
Everybody is taking pills
There's all this pity we give out of sequence
Let's just have a party, it's far more convenient
How are we suppose to arrive
If memory was already there, yeah
How are we suppose to survive
If memory was already there, yeah
How are we suppose to arrive
If memory was already there, yeah
How are we suppose to survive
If memory was already there
How are we suppose to survive
