Hubris
Lyrics
Verse 1
I don't feel like I need to play games
Jump through hoops in search of fortune and fame
I do the un-glamorous hard shit every day
You and I are NOT the same
Verse 2
You've never wanted for anything
I had to work to get simple things
I grew up poor, like next meal insecure
shown the door, I was too immature.
Chorus
I'm full of emptiness (emptiness)
And fresh out of pride (out of pride)
It ran away I guess (ran away)
When I let it outside (outside)
Verse 3
It was time for me to fend for myself
Stand on tippy toes and reach for that shelf
I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth
I'm pretty sure I was born with doubts
Pre-chorus
I had to work for mine
Can't afford to pay the fine
Nor the tax or the toll
They make me stop when I'm on a roll
Chorus
I'm full of emptiness (emptiness)
And fresh out of pride (out of pride)
It ran away I guess (ran away)
When I let it outside (outside)
Bridge
Hubris is yours and you love it
You put your self above it
Narcissistic bear thee witness
My survival scared you shitless
So get this:
Chorus
I'm full of emptiness (emptiness)
And fresh out of pride (out of pride)
It ran away I guess (ran away)
When I let it outside (outside)
Verse 4
Hubris, self centeredness, ego
Pompous, prideful halo
Pulled down to his eyes
Head is bound so tight
Verse 5
Headache wasn't worth it
Slowed his role and now he's perfect
No pain in the skull not on the surface
I took 3 aspirin stopped on purpose
Verse 6
I'd like to see what you're made of
Your reputation is played up
You got guts kid, lets see what they look like
You can run away kid but you better have a fast bike
Pre-chorus
I had to work for mine
Can't afford to pay the fine
Nor the tax or the toll
They make me stop when I'm on a roll
Chorus
I'm full of emptiness (emptiness)
Fresh out of pride (out of pride)
It ran away I guess (ran away)
When I let it outside (outside)
Bonus verse
Has anyone seen my pride?
Anyone at all?
I've been looking for it all night
I've got to find it before I fall
Cuz it's the pride before the fall
After all
