Lyrics Tender – Handmade Ego

I’ll be looking for the scent when it goes cold
I’ve been trying to beat the maze with a blindfold on
I’ve been foraging through mud and sticks
Searching for that power that don’t exist

Gather my strength and I’ll pull my weight
Run so hard I can only taste
Blood
In my mouth

And I’ll do my work and I’ll break a sweat
Feel your nails drag across my chest
It’s all worth the pain
Your sex and savage ways

So caught up
So caught up in my self indulgence
I tell myself that I’m not hopeless
When I need you
I need you
To struggle with me too

So wrapped up
So wrapped up in my handmade ego
Well knock me down a pit and watch me wallow
‘Cause I need you
I need you
To struggle with me too

I’ve been trying to find the path, keep me on track
Trying to solve the puzzle with my hands tied behind my back
I’ve been keeping my head in the sand
Won’t get involved in what I don’t understand

Sink my teeth into what is mine
Hunt and kill so you can wine and dine

So caught up
So caught up in my self indulgence
I tell myself that I’m not hopeless
When I need you
I need you
To struggle with me too

So wrapped up
So wrapped up in my handmade ego
Well knock me down a pit and watch me wallow
‘Cause I need you
I need you
To struggle with me too

So draw the line
It’s there to cross
I think we’ll find
The cause we lost

And draw the line
It’s there to cross
I think we’ll find
The cause we lost
The cause we lost

So caught up
So caught up in my self indulgence
I tell myself that I’m not hopeless
When I need you
I need you
To struggle with me too

So wrapped up
So wrapped up in my handmade ego
Well knock me down a pit and watch me wallow
‘Cause I need you
I need you
To struggle with me too
