Vanity’s Fair

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kurt Travis & Cory Lockwood] Hold your tongue It doesn't own you Or does it by default? You can't pretend that it's not weighing you down Or that you really even want me around, 'cause you don't I know that burdens are a girl's best friend In the end, you'd give it up for the weekend [Verse 2: Kurt Travis & Cory Lockwood] You don't even want me around, it's okay It's okay, it's okay, oh We can't look at you, you're not the same I keep thinking you use your brain Already threw it away, don't give a fuck what we say Already threw it away (Oh, yes, you did, oh, yes, you did) Already threw it away, oh no Learn to hold your tongue It doesn't own you You can go, but I might stay Yeah, I noticed that you're so bored, but I'm okay It's not a problem for me, is it a problem for you? Hope not [Chorus: Kurt Travis] And if you're asking me to stick around, then why is it When we separate, you keep holding on and on? Oh, but not for long But not for long [Verse 3: Cory Lockwood, Kurt Travis, Cory Lockwood & Kurt Travis] Aside from all the points, turning thoughts into sickness All my stupid, blind ambitions never fit inside your vision Maybe so, I don't know Sure, I could've made it work Been the necessary jerk like you wanted me to be Aside from all the points, turning thoughts into sickness All my stupid, blind ambitions never fit inside your vision Maybe so, I don't know Sure, I could've made it work Been the necessary jerk like you wanted me to be Aside from all the points, turning thoughts into sickness All my stupid, blind ambitions never fit inside your vision Maybe so, I don't know Sure, I could've made it work Been the necessary jerk like you wanted me to be [Verse 4: Cory Lockwood] Aside from all the rest There's a sickness in my thoughts where the twist to every plot is What I think I am, I'm not Maybe so, I don't know, I could never make it work But I sure could make it hurt, do you want this from me? And as you may recall, I never signed a thing at all You just started your addiction, I just started my withdrawal It seems to me the suit I wear is too tight at the neck But the tailor that is vanity is sure it fits me best [Bridge: Kurt Travis] It's not a flattering color on me But I wear it always because (Oh, oh) My skin's been sold, it's always cold And all my methods seem too damn old I should've folded a long time ago [Verse 5: Cory Lockwood & Kurt Travis] I came in thinking that I'd know exactly what my part is Know all of the lines because I'd authored all the hardest But I didn't have the will, so I don't know why I started These empty ribs still have no room to fit a proper heart in So if all you want are flowers, then just plant yourself a garden Don't rely on me Quit calling me to remind me I have many ways To remember all those things And even now, I cling to them; it's sad I know it's hard, but I swear it gets easier It just takes distraction and time I can't tell if I'm undeservedly given to Or if I'm undeservedly giving what's mine
