Zola Jesus - Ego lyrics

rate me

(Starts at 19:37 in the link)

(Verse)

I used to think humility was everything

The only way through to all sounds

(Pre-Chorus)

I fought against the ego

I fought, fear by me closer to the truth

I fought against the ego

I knew it brought me closer to losin'

(Chorus)

From first step to last

I'm ? from the ashes

From first step to last

I'm tender to you

(Verse 2)

I used to think that I was bound to reverence

The only way through to my help

(Pre-Chorus)

I fell into the ego

I feel, it brought me closer to my youth

I fell into the ego

I knew it brought me closer to hybris

(Chorus x2)

From first step to last

I'm ? from the ashes

From first step to last

I'm tender to you
