Testi Vanity - Jay Johnson

Vanity

It’s been 18 years, filled with laughter and a river of tears\nNow I think I have the soul of a tired, old man\nThe things we have and the things we can see\nAre the only things that matter or so it seems to be\nEspecially when things are going as planned\nEverything we know\nEverything we have\nWon’t forever belong to us\nEverything we own\nEverything we are is all vanity\nI just hope when they’re gone\nYou’re strong enough\n216 months\nOf playing it safe and stupid stunts\nNow I know the sun will rise and the sun will set\nBut if your obsessions lie within worldly possessions\nThen I hate to say but one day you’ll regret\nEverything we own\nEverything we have\nWon’t forever belong to us\nEverything we own\nEverything we have is all vanity\nI just hope when they’re gone\nYou’re strong enough\nOutro\nI hate to be the one to say this\nBut we all know it’s true so let’s not pretend\nAll the things that we have, we will one day miss\nBecause everything must come to an end
