Egg

[Verse 1]
I was downtown late last night
I was walking 'round last night
Passed a man, we locked eyes, it hit hard, there goes time
A stranger once in your life
And whispered with his shiner as he wanted to be me and I him
My only shine
Your entire life is wiped clean from the bathroom window
You etched out in the steam (What about him though?)

[Pre-Chorus]
And when I take step outta me towards the stranger
The muscle suit pumps, it feels like second nature
Original men, a clear and present danger
Don't you wish you could be somebody else?
(Somebody else)
(Somebody else)
(Somebody else)

[Chorus]
I'm crawling out of my skin
Saw me through the eyes of the world

[Verse 2]
Layin' on her stomach, she was looking at me
Opened eyed but so chain me now
And deep in her is a reflection of me
I can feel how you feel right now

[Pre-Chorus]
And something dominates me, holds my hand to the fire
Young man vers another kind
Every single step that you take is just another one back
Another step to take back, another regret
You just gonna let fear take that?
You just gonna let fear take that?
You just gonna let fear take that?
You just gonna let fear take that?

[Bridge]
Back in the shell, my life in the cave
People go by, I smile and wave
But deep down inside, there's always that fear
That I'm not enough, I seem cavalier
But it's all an act, I'm cold 'cause I'm weak
And deep down inside, there's nothing unique
But man is a mold and nothing is new
So why not release and let it come through?
I'm fighting the flame, I'm gasping for air
I'm back as a big man with panache and flair
Back to the egg, it's crimson and gold (Crimson and gold)
I'll follow the rules and do what I'm told
Can one be great? Can one be kind?
When history shows, they're not intertwined
So what will you choose, your heart or your pride?
Could you really be so self-satisfied?

[Chorus]
I'm crawling out of my skin
Saw me through the eyes of the world
Could you really be that self-satisfied?
Is that you? (I’m crawling out of my skin)
Is that the child who's afraid in you? (Saw me through the eyes of)
Stop, is that you? (The world)
The world, the world, the world
The world, the world, the world
The world, the world, the world
The world, the world
