“My Ego, My Pride, My Grip On My Life“

What’s a song lyric that has stuck with you forever?

Jeremy camp – My ego, my pride, my grip on this life. Throw it all into the fire and leave no survivors.

Lyrics :

“I’m at war with my humanity
Trying to reclaim my sanity
Nothing in my veins but vanity
It’s the same old, same old

You told me it’s Your battle, God, so I need You to fight
‘Cause if I’m gonna live then there’s some things that need to die

My ego, my pride
My grip on my life
Throw it all into the fire
And leave no survivors
Survivors

Somebody give my past my sympathies (woo)
Tell the old me I’m not missing me (woo)
He can call, but I’m not listening (woo)
To the same old, same old

My ego, my pride
My grip on my life
Throw it all into the fire
And leave no survivors
Survivors

You’re pushing back the dark to get me closer to the light
Somebody tell my enemies there’s nowhere left to hide
You told me it’s Your battle, God, so I need You to fight
‘Cause if I’m gonna live, then there’s some things that need to die

My ego, my pride
My grip on my life
Throw it all into the fire
And leave no survivors
Survivors

‘Cause if I’m gonna live then there’s some things that need to die (survivors)
Survivors
Throw it all into the fire
And leave no survivors”

This is what’s been resonating in my head lately. Great song. Never heard Jeremy Camp with so much passion before.
