Egonovella (ego = sense of self, novella = a short novel) was written as a result of the exploration, and subsequent externalization, of the part (and parts) of ourselves that craft the story of who we are in the world.
This song is about confronting your ego, giving her a name, and recognizing the stories she is feeding you on a daily basis that keep you stuck and hiding from life.

Lyrics
Lyrics:
Eyes closed, mind wide
Digging a hole, who am I?
Tight chest, heart blow
What are the reasons, where should I go?
Egonovella
She takes my heart in her hands everyday
No sleep, heart hurts
Going in circles, when will I learn?
Uptight, hollow
Highly functioning never know
Egonovella
She takes my heart in her hands everyday
Oh
How I wish that I could be
Free of
Egonovella
