Dear Ego

You took the reigns with promised glory
Offered peace in the shape of a fame
That would surely destroy me
You raised the bar with pride as my trophy
Made me work for my love
Now I know those were lies that you told me

Now I fly higher up above shaky ground
I found another way to live out loud
And nothin's gonna stop me
From runnin' with the light I found
I got another day, can't bring me down

You set the stage with a weight on my shoulders
Said it's all up to me
If I fail, then the dream will be over
But that ain't real 'cause I'm still here
And I'm louder than before
Yeah, the game was insane
So I quit and became the composer

And now I fly higher up above shaky ground
I found another way to live out loud
And nothin's gonna stop me
From runnin' with the light I found
I got another day, can't bring me down
Mmmmmm
Mmmm yeah

And now I fly higher up above shaky ground
I found another way to live out loud
And nothin's gonna stop me
From runnin' with the light I found
I got another day, can't bring me down
Oh, I found another way
And I got another day
To love this pain away
And live out loud
