I've got a little pocket I keep my secrets in
Sewn into my favorite summer dress
I keep it safe and hidden
So no one looks too close
I'm ashamed that they might see the mess

I built a house of lies on the backs of the poor
I do it every year
I should be despised when you go to the store
I'll still be right here

Vanity, woah Vanity
A golden cage corrupting you and me
Vanity, woah Vanity
Again we find ourselves in slavery to vanity

My spine is contorted, my feet are bloody stumps
My fingertips are calloused pricked and raw
I'm sallow with hunger, but my beautiful smile
Elicits this dull ache deep in my jaw

I built a house of lies and sold it to the rich
I'll burn it down next year
Put on your disguise, try to scratch that itch
Your skin will never clear

Vanity, woah Vanity
A golden cage corrupting you and me
Vanity, woah Vanity
Again we find ourselves in slavery to vanity

I've got a little pocket I keep my secrets in
Sewn into my favorite summer dress

Vanity [2017, "Center of the Universe"]
