lyrics

Everything is vanity
Everyone is scared like me

Cold and alone in the grey of the world
Three billion boys and three more billion girls
Zillions of dead folk who lost all the curls
In their hair off their skull
The goths and the preps and the jocks and the nerds
The Heart and the Head and the Bee and the Bird
Everyone’s happy, it seems so absurd
‘Cuz their thoughts are awful

Everything is vanity
Everyone is scared like me

A man shouldn’t cry and a woman is strong
To need someone else is to be in the wrong
So why do we keep buying cheap emo songs?
‘Cuz our thoughts are awful
We talk about gossip, elections, and cars
But it’s all so impersonal, none of it ours
Because we’re afraid to show off the scars
Before they grow dull

Everything is vanity
Everyone is scared like me

Everything is vanity
Everyone is scared like me

So come hold my hand please and join in this rhyme
I know it’s embarrassing, trying to mime
The words of my mouth, I’ll forgive you this time
It’s a lot you’ve been through
I’ll be your buttress; I’ll be your relief
I’ll help all the fallen get back to their feet
I know with my efforts, I can’t bring world peace
But my peace be with you

Everything is peachy keen
Everyone, just sing with me

I regulate my mood with musical catharsis and publish my diary on the internet for the whole world to hear, wearing my heart and my influences on my sleeve like a man who really needs to do laundry. ... more
