Handmade Ego

I'll be lookin' for the scent when it goes cold I've been trying to beat the maze with a blindfold on I've been foraging through mud and sticks Searchin' for that power that don't exist Gather my strength and I'll pull my weight Run so hard I can only taste Blood In my mouth And I'm doin' my work and I break a sweat Feel your nails drag across my chest It's all worth the pain Your sex and savage ways So caught up So caught up in my self indulgence I tell myself that I'm not hopeless When I need you I need you To struggle with me too So wrapped up So wrapped up in my handmade ego Well, knock me down a peg and watch me wallow 'Cause I need you I need you To struggle with me too I've been trying to find the path, keep me on track Tryin' to solve a puzzle with my hands tied behind my back I've been keeping my head in the sand Won't get involved in what I don't understand Sink my teeth into what is mine Hunt and kill so you can wine and dine It's all worth my time Our bodies intertwined So caught up So caught up in my self indulgence I tell myself that I'm not hopeless When I need you I need you To struggle with me too So wrapped up So wrapped up in my handmade ego Well, knock me down a peg and watch me wallow 'Cause I need you I need you To struggle with me too So draw the line It's there to cross I think we'll find The cause we lost And draw the line It's there to cross I think we'll find The cause we lost The cause we lost So caught up So caught up in my self indulgence I tell myself that I'm not hopeless When I need you I need you To struggle with me too So wrapped up So wrapped up in my handmade ego Well, knock me down a peg and watch me wallow 'Cause I need you I need you To struggle with me too
