“Ego” is a dark, hypnotic dive into the emotional aftermath of a relationship ruled by manipulation and power plays. With pulsing beats and haunting vocals, the track captures the dizzying cycle of gaslighting, self-doubt, and craving validation from someone who weaponizes love. 

It’s both a confession and a reclamation—a sonic diary entry for anyone who's ever lost themselves trying to please someone else. As the tension builds, “Ego” becomes more than a breakup song—it’s a battle cry for taking your power back.

[Verse 1] 
Britney said it years ago
Baby, hit me one more time
Now I’m saying it alone
Baby, cross that fragile line

Stuck inside a world so dark
Haven’t felt a spark in years
Every shadow knows my name
Every echo sounds the same

⸻

[Pre-Chorus] 
There’s a darkness they romanticize
But it swallows every reason why
Not a single glimmer, not a spark
Just the weight of this unending dark

⸻

[Chorus] 
Told them keep a nightlight on
I get scared when I’m alone
When there’s no one else around
No light, not a single sound
Feels like the world forgot my name
And the night won’t play my game
There’s a certain darkness, I’ve fallen too far
Still I’m waiting, still searching for my stars

⸻

[Verse 2] 
All the stars they swore I’d see
Hide in skies too dark for me
Every prayer just disappears
Every dream fades year by year

They say patience, I say gone
I’ve been waiting for the dawn
But the silence pulls me deep
And it never lets me breathe

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a darkness they romanticize
But it swallows every reason why
Not a single glimmer, not a spark
Just the weight of this unending dark

⸻

[Chorus]
Told them keep a nightlight on
I get scared when I’m alone
When there’s no one else around
No light, not a single sound
Feels like the world forgot my name
And the night won’t play my game
There’s a certain darkness, I’ve fallen too far
Still I’m waiting, still searching for my stars

⸻

[Bridge] 
If the shadow’s meant to guide me
Why’s it leading me in blind?
If there’s beauty in the pain now
It’s the hardest thing to find

⸻

[Final Chorus] 
Told them keep a nightlight on
I get scared when I’m alone
When there’s no one else around
No light, not a single sound
Feels like the world forgot my name
And the night won’t play my game
There’s a certain darkness, I’ve fallen too far
Still I’m waiting, still searching for my stars

darkness. (V3)

[Verse 1]

I’ve been living in a haze
Vodka’s got me lost in a maze
But I tell myself I’m fine
This bottle’s been my thin lifeline
Yeah, it pulls me with the tide
But I’ll take the waves so the rest survive

[Pre-Chorus]

The nights get heavy, the mornings sting
I laugh it off, I don’t say a thing
If someone’s hurting, I’ll make the trade
I’ll bleed instead so they’re unafraid

[Chorus]

I’m not okay, but I’ll hide it well
I’ll carry the pain so they can’t tell
If the world’s too dark, let it fall on me
I’d rather drown than let them sink
I’m not okay, but I’ll take the fight
Better my shadow than their lost light

[Verse 2]

Every scar’s just a shield I wear
Proof I’ve taken what they couldn’t bear
I’ll hold the fire, I’ll stand in rain
I’ll burn in silence to ease their pain
Yeah, I’m the wall when the floods come in
If I break apart, at least they’ll win

[Bridge]

And maybe tomorrow I’ll feel the cost
Every battle fought, every night I’ve lost
But if their laughter still finds a way
That’s a price I’m willing to pay

[Final Chorus]

I’m not okay, but I’ll hide it well
I’ll carry the pain so they can’t tell
If the world’s too dark, let it fall on me
I’d rather drown than let them sink
I’m not okay, but I’ll take the fight
Better my shadow than their lost light

[Outro]

So if I fall, let it be my turn
Better me hurting than watching them burn
I’m not okay, but that’s alright
I’ll take their darkness, I’ll give them light

better my shadow.
