Lyrics

"Ego"

What?s that you said?
I?m drowning my ego again.
It?s barely treading water, trying to stay afloat.
But I want you to drown me, keep me from breathing.

You?re inside my head
Tearing down its wall again.
You?re pushing me over the edge and I want to fall
And I want you to push me, right over the edge into the sea

Chorus:
Drowning in this blue sea, will you dive in after me?
Swimming now underneath this world?s blind eye we?re free
But our egos much drown in each other?s suffering.

We?re rubbing like flint
Our pride strikes against the stone.
There?s fire from it, and the heat can make us feel alone.
But I want you to burn me, right down to the real me!

Chorus:
Burning in this fiery sea, would you dive in after me?
Swimming now underneath this world?s cold fire we?re free
But our egos must burn in each other?s suffering.

O, keep melting away, I keep drowning away, I keep slipping away, Keep melting away?.
