Handmade Ego

I’ll be looking for the scent when it goes cold
I’ve been trying to beat the maze with a blindfold on
I’ve been foraging through mud and sticks
Searching for that power that don’t exist
Gather my strength and I’ll pull my weight
Run so hard I can only taste
Blood
In my mouth
And I’ll do my work and I’ll break a sweat
Feel your nails drag across my chest
It’s all worth the pain
Your sex and savage ways
So caught up
So caught up in my self indulgence
I tell myself that I’m not hopeless
When I need you
I need you
To struggle with me too
So wrapped up
So wrapped up in my handmade ego
Well knock me down a pit and watch me wallow
'Cause I need you
I need you
To struggle with me too
I’ve been trying to find the path, keep me on track
Trying to solve the puzzle with my hands tied behind my back
I’ve been keeping my head in the sand
Won’t get involved in what I don’t understand
Sink my teeth into what is mine
Hunt and kill so you can wine and dine
It’s all worth my time
Our bodies intertwined
So caught up
So caught up in my self indulgence
I tell myself that I’m not hopeless
When I need you
I need you
To struggle with me too
So wrapped up
So wrapped up in my handmade ego
Well knock me down a pit and watch me wallow
'Cause I need you
I need you
To struggle with me too
So draw the line
It’s there to cross
I think we’ll find
The cause we lost
And draw the line
It’s there to cross
I think we’ll find
The cause we lost
The cause we lost
So caught up
So caught up in my self indulgence
I tell myself that I’m not hopeless
When I need you
I need you
To struggle with me too
So wrapped up
So wrapped up in my handmade ego
Well knock me down a pit and watch me wallow
'Cause I need you
I need you
To struggle with me too
