Ego Brain Lyrics
System Of A Down
Lyrics
Life is but a dream
Drifting on a stream, a stream
Consciously it seems
All of what remains
Ego brain
Man-made shame
Shame
Love after it rains
You see my pain is real
Watch my world dissolve
And pretend that none of us see the fall
As I turn to sand
You took me by the hand
And declared that love prevails over all
I am just a man
Fighting other men
For land, for land
While I turn to sand
In spite of the pain
Ego brain
Man-made shame
Shame, love after it rains
You see my pain is real
Watch my world dissolve
And pretend that none of us see the fall
As I turn to sand
You took me by the hand
And declared that love prevails over all
All of what remains
Ego brain
Man-made shame
Shame, love after it rains
You see my pain is real
Watch my world dissolve
And pretend that none of us see the fall
As I turn to sand
You took me by the hand
And declared that love prevails over all
Love after it rains.
