Escalator

It's a point-of-view problem
You've got no sense of distortion
I'm always right, you're never wrong
It gets blown out of proportion
Maybe no one's right
But it's always worth a fight
And another win would sure help my extortion

Looks like I won again
I can't believe what you just said
And I'll let you do the math
If you can do it in your head
Darlin', you can't add
And your subtraction skills are sad
So let's call it even and start over instead

Sinking self-confidence, ego deflater
Why do we bother with it?
Escalator
Waiting around for the crowd to disperse
The longer it drags just gets worse and worse

It's all over now
Shaking like an oscillator
So many battles lost and won
That we need a calculator
Nobody won the war
Now what were we fighting for?
Got lost in all the convoluted roar

Sinking self-confidence, ego deflater
Why do we bother with it?
Escalator
Waiting around for the crowd to disperse
The longer it drags just gets worse and worse

Escalator
See you later
When you stop smoking out your ears
Evaporation cools you down
Some day, you're gonna blow
You've been smoldering for years
Nobody ever comes around anymore

Sinking self-confidence, ego deflater
Why do we bother with it?
Escalator
Waiting around for the crowd to disperse
The longer it drags just gets worse and worse
