Vanity

It’s been 18 years, filled with laughter and a river of tears
Now I think I have the soul of a tired, old man
The things we have and the things we can see
Are the only things that matter or so it seems to be
Especially when things are going as planned
Everything we know
Everything we have
Won’t forever belong to us
Everything we own
Everything we are is all vanity
I just hope when they’re gone
You’re strong enough
216 months
Of playing it safe and stupid stunts
Now I know the sun will rise and the sun will set
But if your obsessions lie within worldly possessions
Then I hate to say but one day you’ll regret
Everything we own
Everything we have
Won’t forever belong to us
Everything we own
Everything we have is all vanity
I just hope when they’re gone
You’re strong enough
Outro
I hate to be the one to say this
But we all know it’s true so let’s not pretend
All the things that we have, we will one day miss
Because everything must come to an end
