about

Vanity is a mirror that shows you only what you want to see, and shame is what follows when that mirror is shattered.

lyrics

They dance their tortured rhythm on the threshold of starvation
Masturbation of a psyche that has twice denied salvation
Consternation of unholy gateways withering frustration
Incubation of a fever that awaits probate in desolation
Life's a sacred whore who denies you that which you do not deserve
Confer with aching muscles tussle with a pound of verve
Exert the force to stir your ego you've not the will to swerve
Diverge from your desires fires burn you down to the nerve
Your sysiphean desire to acquire yourself a lover
Who manifests your requests and attests to no other
The behest of your flesh skins you down to the knuckle
For the lips they may tempt but provide you no suckle

CHORUS:
Everyday and every night
We make our way up toward the light
Tempting beauty greets our eyes
Flaming hearts our wings ignite
Cause I'm ugly, ugly, ugly
But if I can stand in your shine
I'll suck up some of that lovely
Maybe then I can make you mine

They glance sidewinder enshrined in their lush vocabulary
A reliquary of tainted thoughts betroth their poisoned sanctuary
Levity of their psuedo-smiles belies their deadly gravity
Integrity of functions succumbs to the compunction to depravity
Invert that which you cherished to obtain something worse
Furtive chances perish when your confidence becomes a curse
Revert back to idle claimes that you had made it first
Convert to the same old same as your hopes disperse
Contemplate the sweet escape that you cannot manage
Despite the respite that your failure has now granted
Reaping the fruits of the seeds of jealousy you've planted
You made your move so now you will take the damage

Chorus

Hello my friend, How have you been?
Me I'm back to scratchin' my face and leaving scars again,
I can't conform to the norm, even if I tried,
Sayin' I don't wanna be like others, would be a lie,
I'm not outta my mind, I'm doin' just fine,
But sometimes I feel the need to pluck out my eyes,
Although I don't, betcha think I'm a joke,
Approach, can provoke, guaranteed a sore throat,
I'll facefuck your ambitions with a gentle stroke,
Rape your fuckin' fear, bitch say I won't,
I'm not a part of anything, no affiliation,
Never had a nickname, no abbreviations,
I still wanna be cool, make all the honeys drool,
Hang out at the pool, with my friends from school,
My apologies the Smoke And Mirrors left me cloudy,
My mother lied, there's really nothing special 'bout me,

Chorus
