Welcome To The Vanity Faire
Alesana
I search high and low but I can’t find youStill your vexing laugh entices meClose enough to touch but then you run awayI’m about to quit and then you say, “lose yourself in the vanity faire!”Insanity is whispering to me, woah!What I believe is just not making sense of what I seeShow me your reflection, a sly disguise, is it the girl you want to be?A porcelain smile, you’re a knockout, baby?Drape yourself in fragile fantasyI see your reflection, a sly disguise, and it’s not the girl your want to be?A fraudulent smileWhat you see is what you’ve asked for,but it’s never what you areA cold-hearted taleLost in a maze of beautiful deceptionAnd just like before I’m at the mercy of a phantomWhen will it end? How will it end? And will you be in arms?I just can’t take anymore of this pointless search for nothingInsanity is whispering to me woah!What I believe is just not making sense of what I seeShow me your reflection, a sly disguise, is it the girl you want to be?A fraudulent smileWhat you see is what you’ve asked for,but it’s never what you areHey hey hey!Silence, oh cruel harlot!Silence! Your filthy tongue will be stilled!Laughter echoing, I’m unraveling tonightSilence! I’ve had enough!Silence! No longer will you stop me!Your vanity so patiently will steal your soulYou’re hideous..Mirror, mirror on the wall, a liar to us all, you’ll be the one to fallThe eye of the beholder knows the truthShow me your reflection, a sly disguise,Is it the girl you want to be?A porcelain smile, you’re a knockout, baby!Drape yourself in fragile fantasyI see you reflection, a sly disguise,And it’s not the girl you want to be?A fraudulent smileWhat you see is what you’ve asked for,but it’s never what you areWhat you see is what you’ve asked for,What you see is what you getA cold-hearted taleAttack the mirrors, shatter the prisonOne by one reflections fall, come on come on come on come on!Until I destroy them all, come on come on come on come on!
