Ego is a god ****** quicksand Inside the center of a black hole A map to a wasteland Where any star turns ice cold The rich man is the most afraid To be the flame that fades away Rich nations are all the same I hate the player and I hate the game Where’s the change they promised? No shame the game’s dishonest No chains or fame for those being modest Yet we never speak on it? Keep the profits, keep the gold, I'l keep the soul I Know it's worth, don't need it sold It’s the greatest story ever told A grace traced forever old You can run back till the riddle ends Where a sidewalk crack is a little friend It’s Zen until it bends like the fate of a fickle trend That shuts the faith of a middle man Preaching... Stuck to the ways of a little man Reaching... Stuck to the faith that you place on another man's reason Stuck to the maze of a riddle-ass teaching Stuck to the faith of a middle man "Survival is a straight line" That's what he heard through the grapevine But nobody has the same mind, stray cats and the canines, Everybody’s talking at the same time So what is Truth? For me, it’s: "what's the use?" If somebody's always watching you Would you hate them embrace them or make them enjoy the view?

Ego Death
Ego is a god ****** quicksand Inside the center of a black hole A map to a wasteland Where any star turns ice cold The rich man is the most afraid To be the flame that fades away Rich nations are all the same I hate the player and I hate the game Where’s the change they promised? No shame the game’s dishonest No chains or fame for those being modest Yet we never speak on it? Keep the profits, keep the gold, I'l keep the soul I Know it's worth, don't need it sold It’s the greatest story ever told A grace traced forever old You can run back till the riddle ends Where a sidewalk crack is a little friend It’s Zen until it bends like the fate of a fickle trend That shuts the faith of a middle man Preaching... Stuck to the ways of a little man Reaching... Stuck to the faith that you place on another man's reason Stuck to the maze of a riddle-ass teaching Stuck to the faith of a middle man "Survival is a straight line" That's what he heard through the grapevine But nobody has the same mind, stray cats and the canines, Everybody’s talking at the same time So what is Truth?
