Silverstein - Vanity and Greed [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Don't say you don't miss me yet I must concede
There's something I have to explain
It isn't easy playing your way
I can't even begin to say
I'm taking back my conscience
I'm going to take control
I've seen the bravest lions shy away
I've seen the tallest trees fall down
I've made a hobby of self-deprecating
My honesty and my integrity

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't let me drag you down

[Chorus]
Don't say goodnight
Say goodbye (Say goodbye)
You can't mend a scar (Mend a scar)
You can't fix a shattered heart
Don't even try

[Verse 2]
I'll sell you every ounce of honesty
You'll buy it all and lie with me
I can't pretend there's any truth to me
It's all just vanity and greed
I’m taking all your karma
I'm going to need it more

[Chorus]

[Bridge][x4]
Here's my advice if you know what's good for you
Don't let your guard down[x2]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
I'm taking back my conscience
I'm going to take control
I’m taking all your karma
I'm going to need it more
