Oldtown - Ego Is a Dirty Word Lyrics

So let the city lights silhouette a moment never met
You let me down, you let me down
It never burns to just say the words, but how long can it hurt?

Yeah kid, you really got it figured out, while I fall apart
I have to fuck myself up just to feel something other than a plan of attack
On everything that I am

Take me back to where we used to be
When solidarity was all the rage

So let the city lights silhouette a moment never met
You let me down, you let me down
It never burns to just say the words, but how long can it hurt?

Caught right here between the teeth, fearing fear itself
I'll blame every discretion on anyone but me
Oh sublime egocentric lack of self-esteem
I'll blame every single thing on anyone but me

Take me back to the way we used to be
When solidarity was all the rage

I'm nothing without the drugs, I'm nothing without a compliment
In my sea of complacent shrugs, call me out on it, call me, fuck it

So let the city lights silhouette a moment never met
You let me down, you let me down
It never burns to just say the words, but how long can it hurt?

You let me down
