Ego death, the name on the check

With shaky hand, I pay my respects

Deep in the heart and out from the neck

She gave me a smile and told me I’m next

You go back and you circle down

Do I exist when you’re not around

Going through the motions

Without making a sound

Ego death, the kids are depressed

Cuz all they know is how to reject

Chasing thrills, jump outta the wreck

Laughing harder, slamming eject

Drinking just to drive

It’s a race to the bottom

They’ll never now why

We just live to die

Headlight illusions

Panic and confusion

I don’t know what to do

I don’t know what to do

Nothing ever made sense to me

Got sentimental energy

From living in the absence of your memory

Don’t look at me, I got too much on my mind

Don’t look at me, I got too much to hide

Keeping all the built up blood inside

I don’t want to look both ways

Dancing round my future grave

I’ll disappear in only a couple days

We just live to die and I’ve been trying every night

To find the words to make it worth it

Like a picture painted perfect

We were all just built to spill

Cheap thrills, laced pills, yeah you know the drill

Perfect from now on, I promise

(I don’t know if that was honest...)

I don’t know if I’ve ever really been honest with myself

Put the bottle on the shelf

I don’t need no fuckin' help

Help not needed

Sentiment has been repeated

Left alone in the dark can’t see shit

I don’t need it

I'm armed to the teeth

I can forget anyone

So easily

So easily

So easily

Ego death, the name on the check

With shaky hand, I pay my respects

Do I exist when you’re not around

Going through the motions

Ego death, the kids are depressed

Cuz all they know is how to reject

Chasing thrills, jump outta the wreck

Laughing harder, slamming eject

Drinking just to drive

It’s a race to the bottom

They’ll never now why

We just live to die
