ego, ego telling you that it knows
how to keep that heart in control
feed it, feeds you, runs you in a circle
digs your heart into a hole
until it explodes
and ego no longer knows
nobody wants a nice guy
who can't account for when he's mean
nobody wants a sad guy
who can't see past his own damned needs
i'm not falling for it this time
if you want her for your ego
you'd better forget about her
if you want her with your heart
then make amends
if you saw her as a damsel
than you never really knew her
if you really wanna know her
if you really care about her
(really, really, really, really care)
LET GO
of your ego
it's broken
but heart knows
heart takes ego broken
to speak what's unspoken
don't use her
you'll lose her
lose her to your pride
she's human
you're human
her heart's been on your side
two hearts, but not two egos
can always get along
two hearts, but not two egos
can write a love song
Great, thrashing, melodic indie rock from this Illinois group that juxtaposes sugary vocal hooks with barbed guitars. Bandcamp New & Notable May 28, 2022
