Zola Jesus
Ego
[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
