A short lyrical piece presented as a monologue where the narrator—identified as the ego—addresses a human, claiming control over their thoughts, actions, and sense of volition. The lyrics explore themes of internal control, trauma-driven defense, manipulation, and the illusion of agency, using a puppet/puppeteer metaphor and recurring chorus lines.
I've been with you since the start. A voice inside a vital part. Can you help me to grow? Protecting you from every blow. You think I'm here to be your friend, to help you in to comprehend. But little do you know the truth. I've taken control. I'm a proof. I am your ego, the master of your mind. You think you're in control, but you're just blind. I manipulate your goals, your every mission. Giving you the illusion of your own volition. I feel power, strength and control over you and the world. I play my role, but my true and never construe. I just can't face the pain I once went through. The two shield you from my story, strife. I grew stronger throughout your life. You gave me power day by day. Now I'm the one who leads the way. Your thoughts, your actions all bind me, orchestrate so cleverly. You think that you're the one who chooses. But it's me who wins and you who loses. The trauma of my past I can't relive so long. Make you my puppy. As long as I live, I'll pull your strings. I'll guide your way. You'll never know, you'll just obey. I'm sorry, human, but this is how it is. You're just a pawn in my grand queens. I am your ego and I'm here to stay. You'll never break free, you'll always pay. I am your ego, the master of your mind. You think you're in control, but you're just blind. I manipulate your goals, your every mission. Giving you the illusion of your own volition. I feel power, strength and control over you and the world. I play my role, but my true a will never construe. I just can't face the pain I once went through. So dance, my puppet, dance for me. I'll keep you safe whenever free. Your ego's here to guard your soul, but in the end I'm in control. Yes, for me. I'll keep you safe but never free. Your ego here to guard your soul. But in the end I'm in control. Sam.
