Bow To The Ego - Trillium

If I give in will you leave it alone, tyrannous soul?

Seething, you leave me to dance on my own

Vexed and offended again

I ache, you take

It’s such a familiar subject

Irate outbreaks

We’re down to the final countdown

On your knees

You won’t get a «pretty please»

See and you will believe

I’d say your righteousness is barely legal

On your knees

No cure for this disease

Already feel the heat

I gotta get low

Now bow to the ego

Throwing your tantrum, I built up my wall

Brick after brick

No bed of roses awaiting your fall

Patience is slipping again

No shame, just blame

The air has the taste of sulphur

Low aim, untamed

This may be the final meltdown

On your knees

You won’t get a «pretty please»

See and you will believe

I’d say your righteousness is barely legal

On your knees

No cure for this disease

Already feel the heat

I gotta get low

Now bow to the ego

Please, Sir, won’t you ever think before you speak?

Now nothing can stop up this leak

I’m tired, so many egos to please

It’s draining me weak

My head’s bruised, all used

Is this what you really wanted?

Blown fuse, you lose

The one thing we all can count on…
