Handmade Ego - Tender

I’ll be looking 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

Searching 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’ll do my work and I’ll 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 pit 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

Trying to solve the 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 pit 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 pit and watch me wallow

'Cause I need you

I need you

To struggle with me too
