Vanity
Vanity steals of your soul; a message for you in your time
Give away what makes them adore you ; selling the state of your mind
Just what is in your clue; what makes you feel blue
The congress of light it eclipses; it sees the attitude in your smile
The water is breached by a keepsake; with the waves that you use to beguile
The paupers that you protect; you later reject
A cancer it feeds like a prophet; engaged in a curious trust
And if there is time to grow older; the tumor will fade into dust
The ashes they will weep: it’s the time that you keep
And agents will fly by your door side; if still that you tempt to believe
That faith is a pathway to stardom: and angels are here to conceive
You build a high grade wall; to hide from it all
So if forever is marked by the careless; and time was sought as a gift
The watchers would fade without mention; as your neck it jerks back from the rift
Its all from hide and seek; the message we speak
