Handmade Ego

I'll be lookin' for the scent when it goes cold

I've been tryin' to beat the maze with a blindfold on

I've been foragin' through mud and sticks

Searchin' 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 now I'm doin' my work and I 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

I need you, I need you to struggle with me too

I've been tryin' to find the path, keep me on track

Tryin' to solve a puzzle with my hands tied behind my back

I've been keepin' 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
