Welcome to the Vanity Faire Songtext
von Alesana

I search high and low, but I can′t find you
Still your vexing laugh entices me
Close enough to touch but then you run away
I'm about to quit, and then you say...
"Lose yourself in the vanity faire!"

Insanity...
It′s whispering to me, woah
What I believe...
Is just not making sense of what I see


Show 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 fantasy!)
I see your reflection...
(A sly disguise)
And it's not the girl you want to be
(A fraudulent smile)
(What you see is what you′ve asked for!)
(But it′s never what you are)

(A cold-hearted tale)

Lost in a maze of beautiful deception
And just like before...
I'm at the mercy of a phantom!
When will it end? How will it end?
And will you be in my arms?
I just can′t take anymore...
Of this pointless search for nothing

Insanity...
It's whispering to me, woah
What I believe...
Is just not making sense of what I see


Show 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 fantasy!)
I see your reflection...
(A sly disguise)
And it's not the girl you want to be
(A fraudulent smile)
(What you see is what you′ve asked for!)
(But it's never what you are)

(Hey, hey, hey!)
(Hey, hey!)
(Silence!) Oh, cruel harlot!
(Silence!) Your filthy tongue will be stilled
Laughter Echoing, I'm unraveling tonight
(Silence!) I′ve had enough
(Silence!) No longer will you stop me!

Your vanity, so patiently will steal your soul
(You′re hideous...)
Mirror, mirror on the wall...
A liar to us all, you'll be the one to fall
The eye of the beholder knows the truth

Show 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 fantasy!)
I see your reflection...
(A sly disguise)
And it's not the girl you want to be
(A fraudulent smile)
(What you see is what you′ve asked for!)
(But it's never what you are)

(What you see is what you′ve asked for!)
(What you see is what you get)
(A cold-hearted tale!)
(Attack the mirrors!)
(Shatter the prison!)

One 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!)
