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
