To Make My Peace With You: Black Eyed Day

Black Eyed Day

Kill your ego
Kill your ego
By his order you abide
Kill your ego
Said to kill your ego
But did you mean to kill your pride?
Well, Jane Doe is waiting
She needs a toe tag
She was forgotten along the way
To kill your ego
Kill your ego
You won’t remember the price to pay

Jenny got caught in a bad religion
He doesn’t list the contents of her new prescription
Jenny got caught in a bad religion

But don’t kill the messenger
I’m just on the sideline watching it all
Don’t kill the messenger
Then they’ll be no one to catch you when you fall
And this time you’re gonna fall

And I’m not the one
Who gave a black eye to your sunny day
Still, if you want me to leave
You know what to say
I’m not the one
Who gave a black eye to your son
Still, if you want me to leave
Well, you’re blocking the way

Jenny got caught in a bad religion
Anomie leads to such cruel addictions
Jenny got caught in a bad religion
Jenny got caught in a bad religion

But don’t kill the messenger
I’m just on the sideline watching it all
I’m no philosopher
But shouldn’t someone try to catch you when you fall?
And this time you’re gonna fall
It’s as clear as day

And I’m not the one
Who gave a black eye to your sunny day
Still, if you want me to leave
You know what to say
I’m not the one
Who gave a black eye to your son
Still, if you want me to leave
Well, you’re blocking the way
