"The Afterlife of the Party"

Staring in the mirror
Washing X's off her hands

She shouldn't even be here,
But she doesn't give a damn

She's hurting and she's bleeding,
Looking for an escape

Comfort is what she's needing
In any form she'll take

Hikes up her skirt; pulls up her tights
To give those gents what they so crave

Steps out into the flashing lights--
It's time to misbehave

a/n: yes, there are three instances of allusion. no, I will not point them out because they are semi-obscure. yes, I will confirm that they are from Fall Out Boy, 3OH!3, and Cute is What We Aim For.
