Vanidad

How did Pacino say it, let me remember,
In that movie I think it was at the end?
Ah! I remember now, that phrase really stuck with you,
My favorite sin is definitely vanity.

Vanity to be able to buy
A thousand mirrors to look at
Reflections that will blind you,
That will blind you.

Do you still think I don't know what you're up to
When you try to say what you can never explain,
You keep spinning tales to deceive others,
But there are no more partridges to cover up the end.
It's over, back to reality
Or you'll wake up with a slap.

I want to help you,
But you won't let me, you shut the doors on me,
Dare to trust.

How bold of me to give moral lessons,
I'm the first scoundrel
Who's going to screw you over, from behind.

But I warn you I know where you'll end up,
In the labyrinth of illusions
Where you're no longer yourself and you'll fall,
Into the black pit of ego
That gives satisfactions in exchange for more.
Thirst for vanity.

Thirst for vanity.
Thirst for vanity.
