Dress up like your fathers and your mothers
Tonight you are alive

Dance like royalty
Tonight you are free

This is the peak
The mountain’s summit finally reached
You are the girl you dreamed you would be
Tonight is your wish

Hold tight to the sensation for the rest is a lie
Tonight is yours

Take the hand of your man
let him spin you until you can no longer see
You’ve made it this far

To those who will not feel this your life is a myth
To those who won’t know this your life is empty
To those who can’t have this you aren’t alone

Clear the void of love and stress-not
for you are the wish you’ve always had
Tonight you are alone.

Get rid of those disappointing tears for this was your dream
Time sinks in and the moment fades
Let the pictures hold the truth in your heart

Me

I am the majority
I hope.

Don’t tell me that was it.
I don’t want to be there again
give me the peace I deserved
I question the faces of those who were chosen
I ponder the looks on those who were not

I wish.

I wish I could've told them
I wish they could know
that this isn’t it
and that you are alone.
