Lyrics
THE ANGER AND THE EGO.
HE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE CONTROL.
IS IT CONVENIENCE,
COZ IT MAKES NO SENSE
HE CAN'T ADORE YOU AT ALL
IS HE REALLY LISTENING,
OR IS HE WAITING FOR HIS TURN TO SCREAM?
WE CAN'T JUDGE YOUR HISTORY.
WE CAN'T PERCEIVE WHERE YOU'VE BEEN.
CHORUS
THE ANGER AND THE EGO
HE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE CONTROL
IS IT CONVENIENCE, COZ IT MAKES NO
SENSE HE CAN'T ADORE YOU AT ALL.
VERSE TWO
DOES HE REALLY GIVE TO YOU,
OR DOES HE WAIT TO RECEIVE IN RETURN?
YOUR FLAMES MET HEAD-ON WITH THE FLOOD,
AND HIS OCEANS NEVER BURN.
HE'S HANDCUFFS AND HEADACHES.
HE'S THE RISING STRESS IN YOUR VOICE.
YOU REFLECT IN THESE PANICKED BREATHS.
THIS VICE IS ALL YOUR CHOICE
CHORUS
GET OVER YOURSELF,
YOU NEED SOMEBODY TO BE YOUR SAVIOR.
HE'S POISONED THE WELL.
ITS HIGH TIME YOU RETURNED THE FAVOUR.
BUT HOW CAN HE HATE YOU, WHEN HE DOESN'T KNOW YOU ANYMORE.
YOU'VE PUT ANOTHER THROUGH HELL,
YET YOU GREET HIM SMILING AT THE DOOR.
CHORUS
