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

The time and money spent enough to drive me insane

You're fronting like a billboard but easier to read

An ounce of introspection is what you probably need

You don't have care

Your bandwagon's rolling 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 lookin' through the pages of a magazine

My stomach nearly turns at the images I see

A plastic persona fronts on every page

My blood starts to boil, I border on rage

Could you really be so jaded just to throw yourself away

I know what I see, cause I see it everyday

it's so plain to see

You're just another product, a commodity

So long ago, I knew you then

The 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 a glossy shine

And you choke down insincerity like vintage wine

Just thinkin' back to the friend I knew

I wish that things were different cause I won't be fooled

No more

It's only human nature

And I'm the same way

But if I had the chance

I'd throw it all away!
