Joey Chike - Puppet Master

"The psychological definition of narcissism is an inflated, grandiose self-image
To varying degrees, narcissists think they're better-looking, smarter and more important than other people"
"The ego seeks some kind of superiority
It compares itself to others in one way or another, it seeks some kind of superiority"
"Grandiose narcissists pursue attention and power, sometimes as politicians, celebrities or cultural leaders"
"Grandiose narcissism is the most familiar kind, characterised by extroversion, dominance and attention-seeking"
"The human ego which is a kind of phantom-self that you carry around that you mistake for who you actually are"
Round'em up, build my empire!
Confidence inspiring but a confident liar
Behold my troops, an audience of listeners
Take my words as gospel, controlled by charisma
Tell me your secrets, the word won't get out
Such colossal power, I can do no wrong
They idolise and say my ideology is sound
As they feast on my wisdom all night long
I'm your eyes when you can't see
I'm the reason and your answer
I'm the truth that you believe
So respect me as your master!
"Even if you do everything quote/unquote right, it often makes no difference, they're still abusive and invalidating"
"When their rosy view of themselves is challenged, they can become resentful and aggressive
It's like a disease where the sufferers feel pretty good but the people around them suffer"
Worship my brilliance and cherish my fear
They do as I say, I sanitise their sanity
While I discriminate and abuse you my dear
Justify my principles in the name of family
The king of my castle, the captain of my ship
Inferior egos will die!
Dare speak on my name, I'll hang your head in shame
The whole team is on my side!
I'm your eyes when you can't see
I'm the reason and your answer
I'm the truth that you believe
So respect me as your master!
Ha ha ha
Dance my puppets!
Ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha
"The awakening can begin with realising that you are not the thoughts that go through your mind, that's the beginning
Now what has arisen at that moment? Awareness"
"So much of the time we spend talking about narcissists is how grandiose they are and how they're bullies and, you know, how they're often very successful... fragile doesn't always seem to add up but it's the actual origin of this whole problem
The fact that they are fragile, that their self-esteem is inconsistent, that they're so reliant on other people for validation and admiration to tell them who they are, is so because they're so vulnerable in some ways and that their ego is so fragile and that they are so insecure"
Please just fill my broken, tortured soul
Crooked childhood, I was raised so cold
Conditional love was all I ever had
Smile conceals, I'm truly, deeply sad
"And that fragility is what makes them so combative, what makes them so angry, and pumped to rages, and dysregulated, and dismissive and contemptuous"
