Symphony of the Ego

Walk in single file Turn back to whom behind Yell to who precedes Make him notice you exist Here’s the score Wait for my cue Sing along With me, myself and I Shake hands and fail to grasp The name of who you face Here no one listens All talk loud the same Sweet symphony of the ego Come sing, I permit I write and publish I own all the rights Under the spotlight I play and conduct Yeah Starving for attention Starving for glances We feast on a consent-flavored surface Devour thin air and dust We end up eaten alive By the concern of eating too much Celebrate self celebration Celebrate self celebration Always prepare not to be umprepared Always prepare to appear competent Shake hands and fail to grasp The name of who you face Here no one listens All talk loud the same lame Sweet symphony of the ego Come sing Sit and taste my placebo The message dies in envelopes The words divide The vanity prospers on solo lectures Behind walls Unites the peace of Silence Among the loud it whispers “Exist, be quiet and listen”
