All is Vanity Lyrics

With their eyes closed

They offered up their hopes

Praying that the cancer would give back what it stole

You broke the news

What was always true

Every step leads to a waiting room

Your gaze drifted

Couldn't say it

Hoping I don't know the truth

Well, I do

You'd always tell me that

Today the world's a little bit darker

Is there something that keeps you from taking

Back your son and forgiving your daughter?

Could we make amends?

Could we start again

And try to do better?

But where do the pieces go

When we realize

This is who we always were?

And I'm getting lost

Is this who you want me to be?

Instinct takes over

And she's acting appalled

While her mother dies

In the room down the hall

And I'm moving forward

Is this who you want me to be?

But we're crumbling from the inside

I'm listening for God

But his voice sounds like mine

The house I've been building so carefully

Is crumbling now, please rescue me

You'd always tell me that

Today the world's a little bit darker

Is there something that keeps you from seeing

All the ways you've fucked us over?

Could we make amends?

Could we start again

And try to do better?

But is this who we always were?

Is this who we always were?

The house I've been building so carefully

Is crumbling now, please rescue me

Your words aren't redemptive

You're bleeding me dry

You'll never stop asking me

Why I won't be still and know

Be still and know

Be still and know

And know

And know

And know

And know

(The house I've been building so carefully

Is crumbling now, please rescue me)

And know

(The house I've been building so carefully

Is crumbling now, please rescue me)

And know

(The house I've been building so carefully

Is crumbling now, please rescue me)

And know

(The house I've been building so carefully

Is crumbling now, please rescue me)
