Ego

Had a real talk with you

Letting out all our feelings

Always tryna explain my side

Guess it was the way I'm dealing

Grew up in a broken home

Came a long way from that though

Never could withhold my soul

Living too long in the past though

Maybe I'm far from decent

Maybe I'm all I need

Why do these thoughts consume me

When I try to go to sleep

It's been killing my ego

Watching people I love go

I've been trying to save face

But the problem is we know

I can't get back to where I was

I gotta move forward

We spent too much time in our heads just to be normal

But it shouldn't be horrible

We can break from that habit

We don't need to live lavish

We just want to establish

Ourselves to reach status

Not just to be average

Most tend to be saddened

Chance came we didn't grab it

When we had the chance

Killing off our ego

It's killing off, it's killing off, it's killing off it

Tryna redefine

The dream I once envisioned

Every day I see the signs

Write 'em off as superstition

I can try my best to fit in

But it isn't a goal of mine

I can label myself as nothing

But I know that would be a dumb thing

All I ever really wanted was one thing

Turned the little that I had into something

Had to carry my pain in abundance

Guess it really weighs heavy on my conscience

Jet black, heart so cold because setbacks

I realize I can't head back

I'll be here and I meant that

I can't get back to where I was I gotta move forward

We spent too much time in our heads just to be normal

But it shouldn't be horrible

We can break from that habit

We don't need to live lavish

We just want to establish

Ourselves to reach status

Not just to be average

Most tend to be saddened

Chance came we didn't grab it

When we had the chance

Killing off our ego

It's killing off, it's killing off, it's killing off it

No more containing my rage

We shouldn't bottle it up, it's okay

It can either fuel us

Or just be the match that

Burns the whole place to the ground

Love is so dangerous, playing with fire

It can be contagious, seeking desire

Searching for a breakthrough, taking you higher

Taking you high, -through, taking you higher

I can't get back to where I was I gotta move forward

We spent too much time in our heads just to be normal

But it shouldn't be horrible

We can break from that habit

We don't need to live lavish

We just want to establish

Ourselves to reach status

Not just to be average

Most tend to be saddened

Chance came we didn't grab it

When we had the chance

Killing off our ego

It's killing off, it's killing off, it's killing off it
