Art of Heartwork - Teach Me How To Swallow My Ego

Kid, i was like you once
Scared, desperate and lonely
You think you're entitled to something
More than anything lately?

So, what am i to you
For you to make a change
A lap dog, an obedient slave
Shaping our brains like clay

And whose idea isn't yours
(Whose idea isn't yours) to take mine
You steal and sell it as your own
And when you're red handed
(Caught red handed) you defend
You play the victim and turn all against us

Not all things go your way
No matter how many times you try
Mom will sort all of this out
No one owes you anything

"I'm sorry if you feel that way
I guess I'm just as bad
Don't even bother, I wont give it all back
Don't except me to love you

Say what you want
I wont give an ounce of your time
Even i turn back every now and then
Your tiny daggers don't break my bones

And if i cannot make you
(Cannot make you) to repent
And obey what i tell you
And what if i cannot change you
(Cannot change you) to be mine
Then watch your back and face my wrath"

Not all things go your way
No matter how many times you try
Mom will sort all of this out
No one owes you anything

And you keep asking the mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all
Reputation and self image to keep
At the expense of those who you enthral

You keep on taking and you keep on changing
Like a junkie looking for a next hit
And you keep on asking for everything i got
And truthfully, i don't owe you shit

Liar
Egomaniac
Thief
Coward

I'll figure out where to spit
Don't tell me what to swallow
