Vain In Costume

vain in costume, it's so good to be me
 at least as long as i am looking like someone else
 it's true - not talking about you
 i'm trying to create a brand new state of being
 that's me - or at least what you see
 or maybe just what i'm willing to give
 'cause this is all i wanna be, and i know i can do it
 trust me - i've found the perfect way to be
 smiling - at all the reactions i receive
 my pleasure - i swear it's not you, it's me
 tempting - to stay right here and never leave
 vain in costume, like something from a dream
 finally become my own celebrity
 i'm he, a freak that's so obscene
 they haven't figured out an insult that fits me
 so free, i wear it to a T, even if i can't quite pay for it
 not really - it ain't cheap, but maybe i'm still worth it
 trust me - i've found the perfect way to be
 smiling - at all the reactions i receive
 my pleasure - i swear it's not you, it's me
 tempting - to stay right here and never leave
 vain in costume, restricted but so free
 it takes a disguise to reveal the real me
