Costume Party from Secret Infinity by 12 Valentines

This is the scene
in the Scorsese movie
where they find all the bodies
the tough guys from the party,
it’s my favorite part,
they had themselves a party
before they got departed
and now they’re a part of the scene.

I lost the plot
You called ‘bout nothing really
I took a shot
of snake blood and tequila
I’m on the phone
with Echo and Narcissus
I think my arm is twisted
I can’t be alone
I’m self obsessed
It’s moot ‘cause so’s the planet
I can barely stand it
I’d like your full attention
For context did I mention
Went to a costume party
I’m at a costume party
(…It’s all right)

I’d say you’re looking different
Almost pleased to be here
‘Cause costumes change, people change
All the different people change
(Even the people who think you’re weird.)

I dressed up
Just for the costume party
The host looks kinda tasty
Heart parts raining ‘round her
I feel seen
Feels fine as dopamine
I combed through a closet
to find this change of colors
Color blind and conscious
my socks don’t match her lip gloss
‘Cause I abandoned matching
My eye hooks are unlatching
Yet I’m not too revealing
I have no one I’m being
(Guess! Yup, I’m a ghost, you got it.)

I still love you star I guess
I love you from here to Los Angeles
Love you whatever happens
If whatever happens
Costumes change, people change
People in their costumes change
(Boo, bitch)

I’m still at the party
Mainly industry
Maybe it’s my agency?
But who gives a hoot?
‘Cause all I do
is envy you
‘cause in your dreams
you’re how you wanna be

You might fall through the cracks
for the looks absolutists
but you do have your moments
you can be the cutest

Keeps me sighing baby for you
Come on Charlie, come on Lucy, come on Snoopy, see about me
