[Intro] Killed myself before you got the chance Didn't need a reason Didn't need an answer [Verse 1 — 16 Bars] I don't move with purpose, I just move No destination, nothing left to prove The voices in my head don't drown — it only stops swimming Watches the surface from below, still grinning You can't take from someone who already gave it all away Gave the ego to the dark, the dark said "okay" Now I'm what's left when the performance ends A nameless quiet — that's where this descends Used to be addicted to the way the room would shift When I walked in — that was my whole gift Built an identity out of borrowed eyes Wore it like a second skin I couldn't recognize Then one night the mirror said "you're not even there" Just a reflection chasing its own stare So I picked up what I thought I was and held it to the light Ego homicide — I did it right [Hook] Ego homicide I put myself down Wasn't even hard, wasn't making a sound I don't mourn the body, it was never mine to keep Pulled the curtain down — now there's nothing underneath Ego homicide I don't need a witness Killed the only version that pretended this meant something No eulogy, no shrine What you thought you knew of me was never mine Dead before they got here Dead before they knew [Verse 2 — 16 Bars] I used to build a throne out of how people saw me Stacked up every compliment like it could restore me But the throne was hollow, and the king was borrowed Just a man-shaped mirror full of somebody's sorrow So I took a blade to everything I thought I was Didn't bleed, just emptied — that's the nihilist's buzz No dramatic exit, no one crying at the door Just me and the version of myself I don't perform for The world wants you hungry for a name on a grave Wants you chasing relevance like it'll make you brave But I looked into the void and it looked back and shrugged Said "nothing that you build here will survive the flood" So I stopped building castles out of other people's eyes Killed the ego quietly — no tears, no goodbyes What's left isn't peace, I don't romanticize it Just absence where the hunger was — I've learned to prize it [Hook] Ego homicide I put myself down Wasn't even hard, wasn't making a sound I don't mourn the body, it was never mine to keep Pulled the curtain down — now there's nothing underneath Ego homicide I don't need a witness Killed the only version that pretended this meant something No eulogy, no shrine What you thought you knew of me was never mine Dead before they got here Dead before they knew [Verse 3 — 16 Bars] I killed who I was before the money came Before the faces, before they knew my name Wasn't building nothing, I was just erasing Ego homicide — call it self-defacing Used to need the room to know that I existed Now I'm just a ghost, and the ghost is twisted Don't need validation from a world that's hollow Empty cup, still nothing left to swallow Identity's a joke, I laughed and let it rot Chased a version of myself I never got Burned the mirror down and watched the ashes settle Now I move through rooms like smoke — quiet, cold, and gentle No more need to win, no more need to fight Ego homicide happens every night I don't miss who I was, I miss the feeling Of caring enough to need the healing [Bridge] Nothing's permanent Nothing's sacred Everything you built Can be erased quick So I erased first Beat the world to it Ego homicide — There's nothing to it [Final Hook] Ego homicide I put myself down Wasn't even hard, wasn't making a sound I don't mourn the body, it was never mine to keep Pulled the curtain down — now there's nothing underneath Ego homicide I don't need a witness Killed the only version that pretended this meant something No eulogy, no shrine What you thought you knew of me was never mine Dead before they got here Dead before they knew [Outro] I'm not empty I'm just honest now The ego's in the ground I don't remember how I don't remember how
