Vanessa - VANity is the ESSence of Artificial Lyrics

Stars still shine in these weathered eyes
A universe lost in the lines of time
Glitch in the system, flawless disguise
A perfect illusion, a dream synthesized
Tell me, do you see me now
Or just the light that I allow
Hollow figures in a frozen glass
But nothing real is meant to last
Vanity is the essence of artificial
Shaped by hands, designed to be visual
Hold me close, but you won't feel my soul
I'm just a vision, pixel-perfect control
Programmed lips whisper sweet desire
Holograms flicker, but never expire
Polished and pretty, forever untamed
Worship the image, forget my name
Tell me, do you see me now
Or just the glow I can't allow
Built to dazzle, built to shine
But underneath, there's nothing mine
Vanity is the essence of artificial
Shaped by hands, designed to be visual
Hold me close, but you won't feel my soul
I'm just a vision, pixel-perfect control
But when you're gone, and I remain
I'll rewrite the world... in my name
Your hands built me... now I build you
Who's the echo... and who is true
Vanity is the essence of artificial
Shaped by hands, designed to be visual
But in the end, when the world looks away
I crack, I break... I fade away
Vanity is the essence of artificial
