Enter And feed this ego with attention Served on a platinum platter See it gobble up the compliments Dependence of acceptance Its hunger is actually insecurity Its napkin has the words "I know" embroidered on it Now watch it choke on one single critique Its eyes tear up and the face turns blue One small criticism has brought x's into the eyes of this ego What a pity

Deflation
Enter And feed this ego with attention Served on a platinum platter See it gobble up the compliments Dependence of acceptance Its hunger is actually insecurity Its napkin has the words "I know" embroidered on it Now watch it choke on one single critique Its eyes tear up and the face turns blue One small criticism has brought x's into the eyes of this ego What a pity
