**Ego** Ego kicks the door Claims the whole damn floor Laughs at every scar Thinks it owns the war Puffs its chest so high Trips on its own lie Talks like solid steel Still can’t tell you why Hungry for the light Steals it every night Flexes in the dark Calls the shadow bright Boss of empty space King of “watch my face” Falls and stands again Runs the same old race **Hook** Ego runs the game Trips and takes the blame Puffs until it bursts Still demands the fame Came from silent rooms Built a loud balloon Pops and fills again Dances to its tune Pride the only joke Humor in the smoke Slips on every step Still pretends it spoke **Hook** Ego runs the game Trips and takes the blame Puffs until it bursts Still demands the fame Final truth stays clear Ego is the clown Wears the heavy crown Can’t keep itself down
