Ego

I'm tired of hearing
What others think
Of how I am or how I think
We all must pretend
And sometimes you don't want to show
What we carry inside

They don't realize that no one is as they claim to be
Just playing a role

There's always something wrong
Pain, sadness, or anxiety
And we smile at the mirror
And there's no better way to hide
Than to pretend normality
The devil knows more because of age

And I'm not as you want to believe
There are a thousand secrets inside me
Dark corners that would make you shudder
Quiet places under the Sun

You think you can know me
You think you know or understand
What I am, how I feel
Sometimes I don't even know if I do wrong or do right
I live between heaven and hell

I just hope that in the balance of good and evil
The intention is valued
And if I must be judged for something
It's for listening to the heart

You think you can know me
You think you know or understand
What I am, how I feel
Sometimes I don't even know if I do wrong or do right
I live between heaven and hell

You think you can know me
You think you know or understand
What I am, how I feel
Sometimes I don't even know if I do wrong or do right
I live between heaven and hell
