Dressed Up

I don't know how it started but it can't end too soon
The way the tide is turning, I think you're singing the wrong tune
You're addicted to an image you can never attain
Time and money spent in nothing is driving me insane
You're fronting like a billboard but easier to read
An ounce of satisfaction's what you really need
You don't have a care
You're fang-magazine trolling but it's going nowhere

I'm not buying in
You'll be all alone

You're all dressed up

With no place to go

I'm looking through the pages of a magazine
My stomach nearly turns at the images I see
Plastic persona on every page
My fortune so far, I border on rage
You've only been so jaded that you've thrown yourself away
I know what I see, I see it everyday
It's so plain to see
You're just another product, a commodity

I'm not buying in
You'll be all alone
You're all dressed up
With no place to go

It's only human nature
And I'm the same way
If I had the chance
I'd throw it all away

So long ago, I knew you then
Truth be told, we were the closest of friends
And you were so much more than you'll ever know
So much deeper than appearances show
But you traded all you had for glitz and shine
And you chugged down insincerity like vintage wine
Just thinking back to the friend I knew
I wish that things were different because I won't be fooled no more

I'm not buying in
You'll be all alone
You're all dressed up
With no place to go

It's only human nature
And I'm the same way
If I had the chance
I'd throw it all away
It's only human nature
And I'm the same way
If I had the chance
I'd throw it all away
