Vanity (Tattletale)
(c) 2007 Brian Madison

Now everyone denies their schizophrenia
But everybody's bettin' on their boys
Everybody suffers apophenia
'Cause everybody hungers for a signal in the noise

Everybody's worried that they'll get stuck on some shelf
And everybody wants to see the pictures with themselves
Everybody fantasizes that they'll swim out to the sea
Everybody seeks a saviour and it may as well be me

Now everybody wants to be discovered
Yeah, everybody wants to be found out
Everybody wants to seem recovered
We all seek acquittal with a shadow of a doubt

Everybody knows deep down that it can never last
And everybody's haunted by a secret from their past
Everybody wants the big score, everybody seeks a niche
Everybody's looking to make someone else their bitch

Now everybody's lost their sense of humor
But everyone's still laughing in this game
Everybody wants to fight a tumor
Everyone's the chosen one, so everyone's the same

Everybody understands that certain things are understood
Everyone's convinced themselves they're thinking of the common good
Everybody really only looks out for their tribe
And everybody thinks they'll get to Heaven with a bribe

Yes everybody hopes to get to Heaven
But everyone's just trying to get through Hell
Everybody's turned-up to eleven
Everyone starts salivating when they hear the money bell

Everybody begs for mercy, everybody's shouting please
Everybody's crawlin' 'round upon their hands and knees
So everybody's doing well, yeah everybody's great
But everybody knows that there's no second-guessing fate
