The Ego Is Never Your Friend

Verse 1

Inside your head a quiet voice will speak.

It tells you that your friends are weak.

It wants to make you feel so tall.

But it just loves to watch you fall.

Chorus

The ego is never your friend.

It brings a bitter, hateful end.

It feeds on anger in the dark.

It sets off chaos with a spark.

Verse 2

It builds a wall to lock you in.

It makes you think you have to win.

It turns your peace into a fight.

It screams until you think it's right.

Chorus

The ego is never your friend.

It brings a bitter, hateful end.

It feeds on anger in the dark.

It sets off chaos with a spark.

Verse 3

It points a finger, starts to blame.

It plays a cruel and lonely game.

It whispers lies into your ear.

It turns your love into deep fear.

Chorus

The ego is never your friend.

It brings a bitter, hateful end.

It feeds on anger in the dark.

It sets off chaos with a spark.

Verse 4

You count the points upon the board.

You guard your pride just like a sword.

But winning leaves you all alone.

Sitting on a freezing throne.

Chorus

The ego is never your friend.

It brings a bitter, hateful end.

It feeds on anger in the dark.

It sets off chaos with a spark.

Bridge

Let it go and let it fade.

Break the trap that you have made.

Kindness grows when pride is gone.

That is how you see the dawn.

Outro

No more chaos, no more hate.

Open up the heavy gate.

Leave the angry voice behind.

Find a way to just be kind.
