Zola Jesus - Ego lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to think humility was everything The only way through to ourselves [Pre-Chorus] I fall against the ego I fought, fear brought me closer to the truth I fall against the ego I knew it brought me closer to losin' [Chorus] From first step to last I'm rising 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 hell [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 hubris [Chorus x2] From first step to last I'm rising from the ashes From first step to last I'm tender to you
