Ego Trippin' 06:58
Inside my minds eye, there are fruit flies of wisdom, vomiting knowledge onto my cortex, while my ego takes swipes at them No matter how I try, I keep getting in the way of truth. That brain teasing little hussy. So abstract, beyond, aloof So I take my brain to another dimension, somewhere outta space. I adjourn into a 4d world, and get totally off my face I start tripping over balls, made of psychological Medusas. Fears that turn me into stone, as my resolution reduces I try to rectify this wild ride, by refocussing my attention. I Sit, listen to my breath, and reassert my intention To void myself of ‘me’ and ‘I’, Kill my ego, Testify! Break apart the pieces of me, before I calcify I scrape the muck from my skin, wipe the dirt from eyes. To reveal nothing underneath, no ‘me’ for me to find The skeleton upon which my ego rests, is nothing more than icon. I’m just as much the shadows, as the wall it’s darkness writes on But then it all unravels, as you can plainly see. Because I haven’t reached nirvana I’ve used the words ‘I’, ‘my’ and ‘Me’ My own mind has weighed heavy on me My own mind never lets me be free Who I am, what I’ve done Who I’ve Hurt, what I’ve become Cause real anguish to me Wrapped up in negativity Shut down into the inside of me Or at least apparently Apparently, cos it only appears that way Pursed lips, fixed stare, with nothing to say Yet, inside my skull a thousand conversations happen in sync A kilogram of voices all telling me what I should think But their words aren’t mine they’re borrowed and blue I’m wed to the people their influence, can’t eschew All that I am is borrowed All that I am I picked up All that you are I gave you All that you are I lent out What I give out I will get back These voices can be soothing They can be antagonistic These voices can be hype men They can be unrealistic This population of voices Is what I call me Divided into facets Perhaps even infinitely That which I say is me I don’t want any more No trappings of idenity Shake me down to just my core No more investment in missed choices or advice unheeded Instead the ability to mould my world into something that is needed Ego death Move my pride Flip the programme Wear my brain on the outside See each moment as the now open the eye between the brow But with no identity I have no meaning without any meaning how can I say what I’m feeling? Life is Chaos Life is Random Anything is possible Everything is transient Basically there’s Choice 1 or choice 2 Do it for us or do it for you I comes before We Except when you see You have no claim to superiority We tell our selves We indulge in heroism but we’re villains of ego hedonism Viewing yourself honestly Can breed some real pain Can breed some self-doubt Can breed some disdain For the you that you didn’t realise that you were For the things you made happen and that you let occur But you’re part of a chain Not alienated You’re part of the picture Not isolated You exist in a sea of information with little reason or rhyme that you try to make sense of by placing it in time But time doesn’t exist it’s just a concept The ghost of your ego unwilling to accept That it died the minute that it was created It’s necessity in the world has already been sated as new things happened and a new you was born Yet still your body, your ego has worn So kill it off, separate it by hand Tear off your shadow and embrace neverland.
