lyrics

-ARROGANCE IS INSECURITY-

Overcompensation to influence opinions
Hijack conversation to fish for compliments
Humility is confidence, take time to self reflect
We must progress together to pay our karmic debt

A show of strength exposes weakness
Inadequacy exposed for all to witness
Live as a brand and forget to be human
Always promoting, not really living

Those who are the best have failed all the rest
Divisions aren't progress, everything has a place
We're only looking down at ourselves
personal failures, tasks unresolved
How much have we lost in our quest for glory?
Information suppressed, civilizations destroyed
There's nothing to gain in historical fame
To be worshipped by those you disdain?
And those you respect think that you're a jerk
stifling progress and making life hard

Showing off is childish, lacking in intelligence
Seeking recognition to mask negative feelings
Bragging is an obvious way to show that you're unsure of things
The real deal will sell itself, those lacking sell you dreams

Commercialize to hide all the fraud and lies
Larger than life but tiny inside
