Vanity

[Introduction] Is it victory, when you lose everything? It is fight or flight when you're left without wings? If learning is a gift, then I've been left adrift In my life, nothing but a shift (a time rift) [Leading riff] [Verse 1] Solitude is my exception Nothing but void, I see My perception was plagued By deception (its a misconception) (Pre-Chorus) I strive not to grow Lost the truth long ago Is it here, above or below? I don't know [Riff break] [Chorus] Wasteaway 'cuz I waste this day Isn't there something to say? For if I know you, and you aren't free Then what will happen to me? [Bridge] I have the right to see The edge of destiny Especially when it features me So let me fall, leave me be [Melodic continuous guitar solo] [Verse 2] The lies that you built The cries that are distilled Manipulate me, underrate me But you can't berate me [Outro] You can't wait To unlock the doors of fate So blindly, you move past The lies you overcast [Verse 3] I guess anything goes When you're waiting for the one that you love It's not ready Hey, man, wouldn't you know? That the woman should be waiting for love (Why would you be waiting for love?) Over and over and over and over again [Chorus] Wasteaway 'cuz I waste this day Isn't there something to say? For if I know you, and you aren't free Then what will happen to me? [Breakdown] And I've searched my soul for you today But this feeling is getting old It won't go away I'm lost without you here My love, it lays under the cornerstone That the builder threw away I've searched my soul Nothing ever came [Emotional Breakdown] And I've searched my soul for you today But this feeling is getting old It won't go away I'm lost without you here My love, it lays under the cornerstone That the builder threw away I've searched my soul ...Nothing ever came [Verse 4] This feeling's getting old Right back in the cold now Right back into the cold, yeah It's all I've ever known All I've ever known, yeah [Chorus] Wasteaway 'cuz I waste this day Isn't there something to say? For if I know you, and you aren't free Then what will happen to me? [Verse 5] And I have searched my soul, yeah For you, it's true But nothing ever comes, alright And I swear, I'm headed back to the other side, yeah I can't sit around and watch us both die Oh, no, I cannot watch us both die Oh no, not I But you know I've got to try [Emotional Outro] I need you here I've tried and I'll try again Through all my pain This is not the end
