Zola Jesus - Ego

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 fought, 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

From first step to last
I'm rising from the ashes
From first step to last
I'm tender to you
