[Verse 1] Smile for the picture, Pose for the crowd. Whisper sweet nothin’s, Just loud enough. Shake every hand, Wear every face. Truth gets buried, Without a trace. [Chorus] Feed my ego, Keep me alive. Your empty praise Helps me survive. Tear down the ego wall! Tear down the ego wall! Tear down the ego wall! [Verse 2] Plastic halos, Paper crowns. Kings of nowhere, Heroes of clowns. Every “brother,” Every “friend,” Only there Till the spotlight ends. [Chorus] Feed my ego, Keep me alive. Your empty praise Helps me survive. Tear down the ego wall! Tear down the ego wall! Tear down the ego wall! [Bridge] No more mirrors. No disguise. No applause. No alibis. You’re chasing echoes, You’re chasing fame. Without the crowd… Who knows your name? Who knows your name? [Final Chorus] Feed my ego, One last lie. Build me up So I can fly. Tear down the ego wall! Tear down the ego wall! Tear down the ego wall! Tear down the ego wall! Tear down the ego wall! Tear down the ego wall!
