Ego

Stepping out of my ego Ego Ego Ego Ego Coming in evil I might go off the rails I might just burn him down and start from scratch Take a dive, make a deal To see how it feels I might just test the waters, I might just pull out my hair I just might pretend to be evil, See if anybody would care Cause I bit the hand that feeds, Only to find it was attached to me It's funny how I can be all I need, I am the best force in this body Yeah yeah yeah I'm self-sustaining, glory-obtaining, I am the itch on your brain I am the only way out, Three faces stacked behind one, I'm the best of the sum Everything's so good now We're doing just fine So when I break down Everyone will know why I'm trying to help you Don't want us to die You've got me confined Everything's so good now And we're doing just fine So when I break down Everyone will know why I'm trying to help you Don't want us to die But you've got me confined Stepping out of my ego I have to refine you, I turn your raw desire to conformity And no I never liked you, But you're only alive because of me We can't think like this, Either we obey the world or we meet our demises And hell is when you pluralize this, Cause how many times do we gotta digress? How could you let this happen? How could you let this fail so well? I'm so used to rejection, I'll probably bring a ladder to hell Take this guilt I'm sure you'll never grasp it, Curb that monster, Never let it happen We're all part of this structure, If one goes down then we all go under Everything's so good now We're doing just fine So when I break down Everyone will know why I'm trying to help you Don't want us to die You've got me confined Everything's so good now And we're doing just fine So when I break down Everyone will know why I'm trying to help you Don't want us to die But you've got me confined Won't you just give into me? You'll never learn from victory How many times do I have to fight you? How many times until I can shine through? How many times do you have to kill me? How many times do I have to deny you? Deny your existence, hope that no one notices I'm missing Everybody's here but they're never gonna listen Everybody hears but they're never gonna listen This is not the be-all end-all, This is not where everybody's fine. This is just the high point of my life, Those are just wasted years gone by, So wave as they go Because nobody wants to see me cry, too sappy But nobody cares if I die unhappy Feelings are heavy and they'll always hurt, so put in the work I call it passion, you call it violent Which one of us do you think will be thriving? In five years time when the clouds have all parted, And nobody here will care how it started I come back now with a price on my head, With blood on my hands and a limp in my step Cause you broke me down, Took two years of my life, But when I come out that side you'll still be behind
