Your Ghost and the Teenagers Playing Dead

so many teenagers for life
nodding out under their own glossy portraits if they are not sleeping around tonight
when it's all just another fix from here
and there's no one left to lead or follow
if you are still then you always will be here
with all these harlequins indiscernible from the mannequins in vintage shop windows
there's bound to be a few charlatans plotting to win some little nothing
their little monster's incognito
so if what's under the limelight is a lie
something gross masked as sublime
you'll say this song is cute
but you know the truth is
you are on the stage even offstage
and under that pose is just another pose
