Vanity

What do you have to offer?
So much demands, countless contemplations
Wanting so much out of me
Where in fact you can’t give much yourself

Material things, stupid and shallow objectives
I’m not made up of magazines
I have books and dictionaries enough to fill a library
Consolidating and enriching my tiny brains

I’m not sure where you got the idea from
But this life is not all about the superficial
I’m worth more than that, I’m proud to say I’m real
Not waiting to be fed, not wasting time staying around

Can’t you see that there’s more to life?
Unbelieving your artificial state, here I am left in ponder
You waste your time for the unthinkable
Wasting time, wasting dime, wasting life

Why bother existing when you’re not living?
Why bother displaying when you’re not representing?
All of your inappropriateness is making me sick to the stomach
If you can’t use your life, then give it to someone else
