Party Dress from Pansy by SOB SISTER

Party Dress

You spoke my name and I was lonely
got stuck under that star
unloosened love with your spindly fingers
but left the door ajar

now the wind is creeping into me
it floats in as a draft
but anytime I mime a plea
you toss your head and laugh

I remember groping blind for you
at the beginning of our arc
I could hear you hum from across the room
I found your lips in the dark

until that night we went to hear her sing
and I wrenched my hand away
you threw her flowers on the ground
then handed me the blame

I had placed your hands around my neck
with a crown up on your head
but you woke up normal next to me
I’m just a body in your bed

now I sleep with my eyes on the door
while I dream glory in your hair
I was struck awake, fallen to the floor
my arms chockfull of air

you pushed me to the mic
you forced my sorrow on display
why is everything in your goddamn life
a motherfucking parade?

we’re praying for the night
to cover up this mess
but the lamps go on
and I’m left waiting in my party dress
