Ego Conversations

It’s those ego conversations
That have been bothering me
Lots of people talking
No one saying anything
They’re on autopilot
In a subconscious dream
Those ego conversations
They’ll be the death of me

Those ego conversations
They’re getting in the way
Sometimes I’m happy
Then they ruin my day
It’s their comfort dialogue
It’s just something they gotta say
Yes, those ego conversations
They’re such a pain

Those ego conversations
They’re getting on my nerves
People open their mouths
Make some strange kind of words
They’re not coming from anywhere special
They’re not coming from anywhere deep
I’d really like some meaning
When you speak

Those ego conversations
I wanna wake up
They don’t lead to knowledge
They don’t lead to love
I am just so bored
No need to think
Those ego conversations
They really stink

Those ego conversations
Lack intelligent thought
Sometimes I try to escape
Sometimes I’m caught
If you see me grumblin’
Let me be on my way
Don’t start a conversation
Unless you’ve something real to say

Those ego conversations
I get them as well
I get sidetracked mentally
In an empty well
I’ve learned my lesson
I’ve cast off my shell
Those ego conversations
Can go to hell

Ego conversations
