I used to think

Humility was everything,

The only way through

To ourselves

I fought against the ego,

And I thought fear brought me closer

To the truth

I fought against the ego,

I knew it brought me closer

To losing

From first step to last

I'm rising from the ashes

From first step to last

I'm tethered to you

I used to think

That I was bound to reverence

The only way through

To my health

I fed into the ego

I fought what brought me closer

To my youth

I fed into the ego

I knew it brought me closer

To hubris

From first step to last

I'm rising from the ashes

From first step to last

I'm tethered to you

From first step to last

I'm rising from the ashes

From first step to last

I'm tethered to you.
