Vain in Costume

vain in costume, it's so good to be me
at least as long as i am looking like someone else
it's true - not talking about you
i'm trying to create a brand new state of being
that's me - or at least what you see
or maybe just what i'm willing to give
'cause this is all i wanna be, and i know i can do it
trust me - i've found the perfect way to be
smiling - at all the reactions i receive
my pleasure - i swear it's not you, it's me
tempting - to stay right here and never leave
vain in costume, like something from a dream
finally become my own celebrity
i'm he, a freak that's so obscene
they haven't figured out an insult that fits me
so free, i wear it to a T, even if i can't quite pay for it
not really - it ain't cheap, but maybe i'm still worth it
trust me - i've found the perfect way to be
smiling - at all the reactions i receive
my pleasure - i swear it's not you, it's me
tempting - to stay right here and never leave
vain in costume, restricted but so free
it takes a disguise to reveal the real me
