Red Dress and Hope

Is a red dress fine to give a girl hope that
she can make, that she can make it,
this is a red dress and I hope you know it too,
she is going to build like the tragedy of the century
and then become a legend you see, that red dress
is going to become a legend you see.

We Are Who We Are

We are  just who we are,
we are, who we are
see those stars
they are just like who they are
they never try to be like someone they never are
to be you, you must be you
else you are not you
just some other individual whose
wisdom says it true to live a lie
to painfully die, to say you
are not even good enough to be you
at all. We are just who we are, you
are just who you are, be who you are.
If stars tried to be like each other,
they would just implode.
