Vanity

[Verse 1: Matt Ngesa]
Want life to my life
I wanna pass time, not to pass by
To this whole living show going on in my living room
I want a flame to my purpose
Like a cord burns in a looped coil
From the start to the end
Like a finish line goal

[Refrain]
Do you still go to bed past 3AM?
Under the thoughts
Maybe the guilt of your past weekend
Losing yourself in endeavors that don't profit you
Faking your truths
Not failing to prove the fool

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Ngesa]
Vanity, vanity please let go
Meaning in all of this is what I'm looking for
Purpose, I'm searching for purpose
Shunned from naiveté
Blessed in my daydream
Hoping that I can move on

[Chorus: Matt Ngesa]
Do you have parties in your pity corner
Trapped in today by yesterday's torture
Hoping you are capable of moving on?
Living a life where life has meant so much
Gaining to have what I can't give up
Trying to keep my feet set on the floor
Is there something more you ask?
Is there something pleasing?
Is there satisfaction for my eternal greed?
Oh vanity, vanity

[Verse 2: BradyJames]
Nothin' matters but the hole in my vessel
I've just seen a lot of friends becoming way too regretful
I be honest I been praying we could see our potential
'Cause I've been holding on to nothing with eternal value
I've been saving up my empty hands and there I found you
And I been chasing after wind like it was all around you
Nobody noticing where your heart and your focus is
I know all the erosion is telling me what I'm totaling
Down, bring me down to the bottomless pit
I been tryna resist, I been tryna resist
And all these people been saying I need to change
That I been going for nothing and all my work is in vain
They tell me I should be normal, but really I think it's strange
'Cause mostly-it's people that's talking that's never followed their dreams
'Cause I know that it's meaningless without God
I've searched under the sun and laid under facades
I've seen a broken person and looked them in their eyes
I'm searching for my purpose and hoping it will arise

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Ngesa]
Vanity, vanity please let go
Meaning in all of this is what I'm looking for
Purpose, I'm searching for purpose
Shunned from naiveté
Blessed in my daydream
Hoping that I can move on

[Chorus: Matt Ngesa]
Do you have parties in your pity corner
Trapped in today by yesterday's torture
Hoping you are capable of moving on?
Living a life where life has meant so much
Gaining to have what I can't give up
Trying to keep my feet set on the floor
Is there something more you ask?
Is there something pleasing?
Is there satisfaction for my eternal greed?
Oh vanity, vanity
