Tangled Up In My Own Ego
tangled up in my own ego
i could not deny the problem
my inability to cope
choked up in all the smoke
from the fires i ignited
i was desperate to stop the pain
that ran down my windows
like some poisoned rain
but it was only ego,
sodden pride and all that
which had in fact,
already died inside
i was stupid and did not know
tangled up in my own ego
James Garratt – September 2006
