Dandy

A dandy, historically, is a man who places particular importance upon physical appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies, pursued with the appearance of nonchalance in a cult of self. A dandy could be a self-made man who strove to imitate an aristocratic lifestyle despite coming from a middle-class background, especially in late 18th- and early 19th-century Britain. Previous manifestations of the petit-maître (French for "small master") and the Muscadin have been noted by John C. Prevost, but the modern practice of dandyism first appeared in the revolutionary 1790s, both in London and in Paris.

Take a Leap of Faith
Future's holding pictures of us
A family in place
Will you speak my name
Hold it to your skin as a prize against your frame
It's 2 am and you call me drunk, but I love it
Cause I get just what you're thinking of
Honesty will melt your youth
But you sober me with vivid truth
I have never been so close to you
And have felt so far away
Take your time with what you want in life
I just need you safe
Let's play keep away
You treat me like a stranger when I smother you in grace
But you're such perfect pain
You run from your reflection when you're scared to stay in place
It's 2 am and I cannot sleep
I hate this
Am I awake in someone's dream
You say scars will never mend
I don't wanna miss you as a friend
I have never been so close to you
And have felt so far away
Take your time with what you want in life
I just need you safe
I just want you safe
Oh for goodness sake
Your eyes are the open heavens
They distract me from this page
Take me to my grave
Your head against my chest right now
Quickly seals my fate
