THE EGO HAS LEFT THE CHAT

V6

[Intro — pompous little piano flourish, dry electronic clicks, deep crooked bass pulse] I have arrived. [Pause] You're welcome. [Crooked techno groove enters — rubbery bass, tight kick, offbeat percussion] I made a plan. I had a thought. I found the truth. [Pause] Or so I thought. [Low spoken vocal, smug and self-important] I'm very humble. I'm rather wise. I've seen through Everyone else's lies. [Beat tightens, metallic clicks answer the voice] Look at me. Look at me. I'm not looking At me. [Brief silence] Actually… Look at me. [Hook — chopped vocal fragments, distorted bass] Ego! Ego! Who's that talking? Ego! Ego! Who's applauding? [Instrumental break — detuned piano riff, distorted electric violin stabs] I have achieved Complete inner peace. [Pause] Please like and subscribe. [Beat drops out, leaving one dry electronic click] I have transcended The need for praise. [Silence] Any praise would be appreciated. [Heavy, crooked bass groove slams back in] I let go. I surrender. I'm so advanced. [Pause] Give me a chance To explain how advanced. [Hook — voice chopped into rhythmic fragments] I know! I know! [Beat cuts] I don't know. [Beat returns with a new syncopated pattern] I am the master Of letting things be. [Pause] Why isn't everything Going my way? [Breakdown — only a detuned piano and distant bass pulse] I have achieved total silence. [Long pause] Was that me? [Silence] [Final drop — bass, metallic clicks and chopped vocal fragments] Look at me. Look at me. [Beat cuts] Who's me? [Outro — three detuned piano notes, one final electronic beep] I think… [Pause] I think… [Silence]
