I rejected the world, the way that it wants me to be
I think I’d rather go struggle and suffer than tie myself onto that leash
Armed with my teeth, there’s no rest for me
No ego death, no epiphany
No ego death, no epiphany
I read all the books, I took all the pills
Spent years being “normal” and found myself still
Drowning in debt, buried in bills
All of it meaningless, nothing so real
I pull on a string I can’t define
It keeps on going and going
A pool of light collected by my eyes
Assigns a relative meaning
To you, to me
To eight billion souls bonded in misery
Ascending the mountain, but they’re all still shouting
No ego death, no epiphany
No ego death, no epiphany
Burn my money surrender control
For twenty minutes throwing-up my soul
In some dank dungeon where the walls are wet, and cold
Watch closely as I ruin my life
My blood and my body for you sacrificed
An ephemeral moment, cast out into the night
Burn my money surrender control
Take what you need, forget what you don’t
You’re going to find out quick whether you’re the hammer or stone
Dance for me keeping rhythm and time
Your blood on the alter your name on the line
To buy your long odds at creating something sublime
Everything’s temporary
I think you probably relate
Staring down another day
It’s coming at you like a train
But you still can’t shake there’s
No ego death, no epiphany
No ego death, no epiphany
