Ego - Zola Jesus

I used to think humility was everything

The only way through to ourselves

I fall against the ego

I fought, fear brought me closer to the truth

I fall against the ego

I knew it brought me closer to losin'

From first step to last

I’m rising from the ashes

From first step to last

I’m tender to you

I used to think that I was bound to reverence

The only way through to my hell

I fell into the ego

I feel, it brought me closer to my youth

I fell into the ego

I knew it brought me closer to hubris

From first step to last

I’m rising from the ashes

From first step to last

I’m tender to you
