[Lyric] Thinner (Call It Ego)

In fables, they come from the cold
-The young and the old travel hills of gold
To a place where your spirit quivers
Because the people in the street like to feed on your darkest wish
Still, they come and they come
And they slowly all lose their emotion
Yes, I got stuck there once ‘cause the car wouldn’t start for me

My obsession, it dominated the show
Because the car wouldn’t start

I got out, and I closed the car door
Ignoring thе vultures as I enterеd a moss-covered store
There was a man behind the counter with a melon-shaped head
And his arms reached the floor
He asked me all about my wish
He asked me all about my dreams
And I said, “There’s one thing for sure
I know the car doesn’t start for me”

I felt drained of emotion as he locked the front door
To carry out some atrocious, empty crime
How dare he!
Carried ‘em out like a vagabond—oh!
And when my car started up, I destroyed the key
I’m left field now
How I’m confused now!
Carried ‘em out like a vagabond—oh!
But when my car started up, I destroyed the key

Then, he lurked in the shadows, playing eye for an eye
But like an Icarus bee, I flew too high!
So, I cried on the radio
I have low self-esteem!
I just cried ‘cause the car wouldn’t start
No, the car wouldn’t start for me!

I was feeling so unlike myself ‘cause his arms were traps
And that ceiling, it doesn’t hold for long
It’s a crashin’ down!

In fables, they come
-All the old and the young
And they dance in the street like fools
And you can’t trust a single damned word they say
‘Cause they’re all borderline insane

No crying, no screaming

This feeling was so unlike myself ‘cause his arms were traps
And that ceiling, it doesn’t hold for long
It’ll crash on down!
