"VAniTy" lyrics

Bury my head in the sand
I know, I know who I am
And there's no way that I'm gonna change me
I'm a collection of scars
Outcast them all from afar
So there's no way that they're gonna break me

Oh, what if everything I'm tellin' to myself's a lie?
Oh, it's like lookin' in the mirror from the other side, sayin'
I hope you finally feel free
Drownin' in vanity
Chokin' on all your contingencies
Tongue-tied and playin' pretend
No goin' back, this is the end
'Cause you became the man you said you'd never be

It's not as bad as they say
Just don't look at the decay
Swear nothin' else has to change, has to change
It could stay
Honestly, I can't complain
I'd say I'm better this way
'Cause I've been givin' and givin'
So maybe this time, I'll take

Oh, what if everything I'm tellin' to myself's a lie?
Oh, it's like lookin' in the mirror from the other side, sayin'
I hope you finally feel free
Drownin' in vanity
Chokin' on all your contingencies
Tongue-tied and playin' pretend
No goin' back, this is the end
'Cause you became the man you said you'd never be

(Woah)
(Woah)
(Woah)

So I hope you finally feel free
Drownin' in vanity
Chokin' on all your contingencies
Tongue-tied and playin' pretend
No goin' back, this is the end
'Cause I've become the man I said I'd never be
