[Intro]
Yeah…
It’s been me versus me for too long now,
Time to shake hands with the shadow.
Time to crown the pain.
[Verse 1]
My mind been a temple with broken glass floors,
Walkin’ on my thoughts just to settle old wars.
Love turned to smoke, I been chasin’ the flame,
Heart like a canvas, painted over my name.
Every “I’m fine” was a mask in disguise,
Truth in my chest, but it drowned in the lies.
Told God I was lost, He said, “Boy, that’s the point,”
You can’t find peace till you run outta noise.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m breathing through the wreck,
Gold veins under my regrets.
Every scar’s just a tattooed prayer,
Proof that I made it here — still rare.
[Chorus]
I had to kill my ego just to feel alive,
Bury the pride just to let my soul rise.
Tears in the mirror, but they baptize,
Now I see truth in my own eyes.
Ego death, I’m purified,
No mask, no chains, just light inside.
I burned my pain, let it vaporize,
Yeah, I had to fall just to humanize.
[Verse 2]
Toxic love taught me how to bleed art,
How to take venom and build heart.
Silence my drug, peace my high,
Trust don’t grow where the snakes reside.
I seen angels in streetlight halos,
Dreams whispered through cracked windows.
Used to beg for love that was counterfeit,
Now I’m the storm they can’t manage it.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m levitatin’, soul in bloom,
Turned my pain into a living room.
Where my demons chill but they don’t consume,
I play their song, but I run the tune.
[Chorus]
I had to kill my ego just to feel alive,
Bury the pride just to let my soul rise.
Tears in the mirror, but they baptize,
Now I see truth in my own eyes.
Ego death, I’m purified,
No mask, no chains, just light inside.
I burned my pain, let it vaporize,
Yeah, I had to fall just to humanize.
[Bridge]
Ain’t no heaven if you fear your hell,
Ain’t no freedom if you love your shell.
Every loss rewrote my spell,
Now I’m me — and I’m doin’ well.
[Final Chorus]
I had to kill my ego just to feel alive,
Now I’m born again under neon skies.
No facade, no compromise,
Truth so clean it electrifies.
Ego death, I’m sanctified,
My shadow and I, we unified.
Every heartbreak, every try,
Made me the light they can’t deny.
[Outro]
Yeah…
You can’t cage growth — it’s divine.
Every fall was God’s design.
Ego died, but I survived.
Now I thrive.
