Echo of My Ego

lyrics

Echo of My Ego

It's all smoke and mirrors,
It ain't no wishing well,
So I will rock my fears and
Roll the circles of hell.
There ain't nothing to buy
And nothing to sell,
So why should I
Still lie to myself?

Thinking I was the greatest,
Flying high as a kite,
Turned out only a playtest
For me losing sight
Of what was forgotten,
Of what's wrong and what's right,
Before I felt rotten
In this endless night.

It weighs me down, it keeps me here,
It doesn't let me disappear:
That's why I've got to let it go -
The echo of my ego.
So note by note, at any rate,
I let my pride evaporate:
That's why I've got to let it go -
The echo of my ego.

INSTRUMENTAL SECTION

Pride came before a fall - too soon,
So tell me: is that it?
'Cause now I have to sing my tune
That never was a hit.

It was never a burden
To be thriving on strife;
It's always been blurred in
My everyday life.
It used to encroach on
My long-suffering wife
Whose silent reproach
Cut me deep like a knife.

It weighs me down, it keeps me here,
It doesn't let me disappear:
That's why I've got to let it go -
The echo of my ego.
So note by note, at any rate,
I let my pride evaporate:
That's why I've got to let it go -
The echo of my ego.
