ego

...i guess i was too full of myself before, and put myself next to people who were actually above me. and now that i can't prove myself against their standards i'm looking up at where i thought i could be.
...and if actually they're not better, then i'd just have to settle with a strong sense of injustice.



i've never worked so hard in my life. but no matter how hard i work i know some things are impossible, here and now.



meanwhile, on a lighter note, darren hayes never disappoints me, ever.

in his new, darker album, called ego:

i have been contemplating letting go
of you ego
thought i'd let you know
you're getting old

it was so irritating saving face
when i fell from grace
thought you would erase
without a trace
but you stayed
but you remained
but you
its always about you

i have been quiety edging away
to keep the flames at bay
akt this puppy stay
to limit my use of
personal pronouns are the death of me
se i just said 'me'
you're an endless sea of vanity
its all for you babe
for you babe
for you
its always about you

i have been silently taking offense
and at great expense
as my feelings dent
i'm licking my scratches
it serves no purpose doesn't gratify
and you're dissatisfied
and though your belly's full
there's always more room for you babe
for you babe
for you
its always about you
