Welcome to the party

Welcome to the party
welcome to the show
this is for the tired beauties
promenading the watering hole
searching for another
stand in for the night
back in the darkest corners
where they lose their fight

And when the sun goes down
the feelings start to stir
another chance to redeem yourself
have you really found your cure
loneliness and desperation
led you to this place
stuck in a world
where deceit is commonplace

Take a look in the mirror
tell me what do you see
are you proud of what looks back now
who you want it to be
wasted day and night's go by
soon turn to years
hopeful dreams and pleasantries
have vanished into tears

Standing at the crossroads
of life uncertainly
past choices and decisions
stare back impassively
nothing comes easy
in this life it seems
is all what appears to be
