Here we are among ourselves

I want to see the entire human race completely vulnerable
To see the lies that lurk just below the surface
To find more than just confusion in a contradictionTo explore the reactions beneath the skin...

Let's observe this gathering from a distance, shall we?
A white tie affair accompanied by formal dresses and high heels
Background music sets the mood of comfort, but not a single thought of the underlying script
Seemingly charismatic gentlemen plot ideas with each approach
Nobody seems to notice the mixed signals on everyone's face
From the sweaty palms to the sharp glares, everyone appears to have reciprocated them
An evening of common courtesy and polite gestures followed by fake smiles in casual conversations
Although, it's not just a typical night outFancy clothes, red wine, and shined shoes only play the part
Here we have a hidden tangle of twisted lies


Now let's unleash the subconcious thought, scatter them on that white tablecloth for all to see...
A sudden shift in the crowd, an unusual scene of shocked expressions
They all shudder at the sight of these bold truths that lie before their very eyes
Not a finger can be pointed, all are to blame
There they are, trying to run from the shame
The burts of laughter, the heavy dancing, the loud chatter has dissolved in this new change of pace
A drop of dignity; a loss of pride
There the judgements are cast
The lies uncovered
Denial and anger is brought to life by an unexpected feeling of pure embarrassment
A lovely night planned to be ruined, with an ending of awkward silence and proven suspicions.
