Vanity

Tell me what is it that you see  
You keep staring at your reflection  
Now look a little deeper please    
And do a thorough introspection    
   
All you see is your shallow prettiness    
Now look just beyond the mirror  
You see that vast abyss of emptiness  
Thats your soul, is it becoming clearer  
   
You never once even saw the sun  
Or the beauty from all of nature  
You also never loved anyone  
Or experienced anything greater  
   
Just your own indulgence of inhumanity  
Which left your emotions in isolation  
This coffin is punishment for your vanity  
Sentenced to a life of eternal damnation
