When I see something I don't like, I stop, then I look, and I listen

If I presume too quickly, then how will I see others glisten

Who am I to be anyone else's judge and jury

If I were to do this, then I'd just be misplacing my fury

When I get lost within a memory, I try to figure out where my problems are stemming

I tread carefully as I know the damage I can cause from condemning

I don't want to live a life blaming others to restore my sanity

Because there's no strength or resilience in doubling down on your vanity

Sometimes, we see things that concern us

We have questions, but we're too afraid to ask

It's why so many of us continue to wear masks

We know that the wrong actions can cause despair and that, ultimately, life isn't fair

But is it okay to continue to pretend not to care

When I get lost within a memory, I try to figure out where my problems are stemming

I tread carefully as I know the damage I can cause from condemning

I don't want to live a life blaming others to restore my sanity

Because there's no strength or resilience in doubling down on your vanity

Vanity! Vanity!

Vanity! Vanity!

Vanity! Vanity!

This is insanity! Vanity

When I get lost within a memory, I try to figure out where my problems are stemming

I tread carefully as I know the damage I can cause from condemning

I don't want to live a life blaming others to restore my sanity

Because there's no strength or resilience in doubling down on your vanity
