Dark Tranquillity
Ego Deception
[Verse 1]
Senses die in me
To the point of resistance failure
Numb to the noise and the self-defining
Liberation of the ego deceived
Liberation of the ego deceived
With the self negated
Taken to the core of
[Pre-Chorus]
Reaction formation
Sublimation channelling
Reaction formation
Sublimation channelling
Idealize the maker
Move the application
Abovе the form
Till it brings you down
[Chorus]
I cannot feel your pain
I cannot see your fear
Though I can sensе your anger now
I'm just the one who wants
Just the one who needs
Locked in ego deception
[Verse 2]
Hours die in me
As deception powers to resist the known simplicity
In the giving of what others could want
Oblivious and headstrong
Liberation lies within
Oblivious to constructs coming down
[Pre-Chorus]
Deception formation
Sublimation channelling
Deception formation
Sublimation channelling
Reshaping of reality
Reinforcing a lie
On which it's built upon
[Chorus]
I cannot feel your pain
I cannot see your fear
Though I can sense your anger now
I'm just the one who wants
Just the one who needs
Locked in ego deception
[Bridge]
Vilification of the unbeliever
Strike fear in inquiry
Justify the perceived intention
Ego deception
[Chorus]
He cannot feel your pain
And cannot see your fear
Though he can sense your anger
Just the one who wants
Just the one who needs
Locked in ego deception
