Only the Vain Songtext
von Super Pyramid

I used to think it all worked out
As long as you had faith inside
But lately I′m having doubts

I wear the weight of suffering well
It's not that I′m devotional
Just a martyr for your sympathy

Everything I work towards
(Is it a job now?)
That direction that I give myself
(Another sacred cow)
Is nothing but scaffolding

Only there to help maintain
(Oh, is that all?)
Structures that I've held in place
(It's so heavy)
So I don′t start to lose my mind


And it′s all in vain
But maybe that's alright
No one gets out alive

Parked along the shoulder
We were dancing to your stereo
Blaring out the window

You′re happy now and that's enough
(It wasn′t easy)
I don't know when it happened but
(Good to see me)
I started losing track of time

I tried to be so many things I′m not
I played too fast and loose in love
And lost

And it's all in vain
How we toil away
Like there's no end in sight

But it′s all in vain
It′s all in vain
No one gets out alive
