Egg

I was downtown late last night

I was walkin′ 'round last night

Passed a man, we locked eyes, it hit hard, there goes time

A stranger once in your life

And whispered with his shiner eyes he wanted to be

Me and I, him, my only shine

Your entire life is wiped clean from the bathroom window

You etched out in the steam (what about him, though?)

And when I take a step outta me towards the stranger

The muscle suit pumps, it feels like second nature

Original men, a clear and present danger

Don′t you wish you could be somebody else?

Somebody else

Somebody else

Somebody else

I'm crawlin' out of my skin

Saw me through the eyes of

The world

Layin′ on her stomach, she was lookin′ at me

Opened eyed, but so chain me now

And deep in her is a reflection of me

I can feel how you feel right now

And somethin' dominates me, holds my hand to the fire

Young man versus another kind

Every single step that you take is just another one back

Another step to take back, another regret

You just gonna let fear take that?

You just gonna let fear take that?

You just gonna let fear take that?

You just gonna let fear take-

Back in the shell, my life in the cave

People go by, I smile and wave

But deep down inside, there′s always that fear

That I'm not enough, I seem cavalier

But it′s all an act, I'm cold ′cause I'm weak

And deep down inside, there's nothing unique

But man is a mold and nothing is new

So why not release and let it come through?

I′m fighting the flame, I′m gaspin' for air

I′m back as a big man with panache and flair

Back to the egg, it's crimson and gold (crimson and gold)

I′ll follow the rules and do what I'm told

Can one be great? Can one be kind?

When history shows, they′re not intertwined

So what will you choose, your heart or your pride?

Could you really be so self-satisfied?

I'm crawlin' out of my skin

Saw me through the eyes of

The world (could you really be that self-satisfied?)

(I′m crawling out of my skin) is that you?

Is that the child who′s afraid in you?

(Saw me through the eyes of) stop, is that you?

(The world)

(The world, the world, the world)

(The world, the world, the world)

(The world, the world, the world)

(The world, the world, the world)
