A reason to dance

you will be the life of the party
the hangover after
eternal celebration
hell you'll be decoration

Oh welcome here
weve invented excuses
for you to be somebody
In your own skin

They all pry
wondering what you are
weve given you a name
You are certainly a thing

That personality in and out of your tongue
And your brow
pretty much the rest of you
welcome here at your birth

we've been thinking of a name
so unprepared
the novelty
Like religious soda
Spilt all over the midwife

give us some new target
so we can make it out feeling proud
so we can pretend we lived our lives
A life must be the meaning to it all

A purpose
Among many
in the realm of human obsession
