Ego's Lament
On the surface lies the ego
That attention-seeking fool
To his aim of being loved now
Everything is just a tool
So he clings to acceptance
And his words ring out of key
"Something's wrong," his shaking voice cries out
"It must be her-or is it me?"
"You're unreliable," he thoughtlessly says
But it's he who can't be trusted
What he sees in you that he can't stand
Is what in him is maladjusted
Lost in his thoughts
He's trapped in the past and the future
Ensnared in this cycle, he pushes you out
He can't care when he has so much doubt
For he worries uncontrollably
That no one really loves him
Which makes it worse and worse and worse
And his story soon becomes him
So he sees what he wants to see
That masochistic madman
To what end? For love? For security?
He deepens the rift with his immaturity
That attention-seeking fool
To his aim of being loved now
Everything is just a tool
So he clings to acceptance
And his words ring out of key
"Something's wrong," his shaking voice cries out
"It must be her-or is it me?"
"You're unreliable," he thoughtlessly says
But it's he who can't be trusted
What he sees in you that he can't stand
Is what in him is maladjusted
Lost in his thoughts
He's trapped in the past and the future
Ensnared in this cycle, he pushes you out
He can't care when he has so much doubt
For he worries uncontrollably
That no one really loves him
Which makes it worse and worse and worse
And his story soon becomes him
So he sees what he wants to see
That masochistic madman
To what end? For love? For security?
He deepens the rift with his immaturity
