I saw a shadow in the mirror today

It wore my face but in a twisted way

Its grin was wide its eyes were cold

A kingdom built on lies and gold

Whispers rising in my brain

Sweet like honey sharp like pain

The ego’s king it always knows

It builds me up it steals my shows

Crown of glass throne of stone

The ego laughs I’m not alone

It walks beside me in the night

A ghost that burns without a light

Its voice is velvet wrapped in steel

A siren song that makes me kneel

The ego’s king it always knows

It builds me up it steals my shows

Crown of glass throne of stone

The ego laughs I’m not alone

It feeds on pride it drinks my fears

A ticking clock of wasted years

But can I fight it can I win

Or am I just its mannequin
