New single out for Spring, a slow tempo, melancholy song called Ego Death. Lyrics below the song: I didn't want an ego death

I didn't even know what it meant 

And I had to look it up on the internet

I hear it's quite deliberate

And they say it doesn't matter

Does it matter at all? 

And they say it doesn't matter 

Does it matter at all? 

Was my flame too dark?

Did I not cause a spark? 

Or was it the Maker's Mark? 

Did I go too far? 

And oh be gone spirits of the dead

I'm not ready for you yet

Even if I slaughtered Sisyphus 

I assure you 

This is not my end 

Will I be competent? 

In my own ego death? 

Or will I make a mess? 

Have a bad trip I guess 

And oh be gone spirits of the dead 

I'm not ready for you yet 

Even if I slaughtered Sisyphus 

Don't mistake me 

This is not my end 

Now you know my fall 

I'm kind of embarrassed about it all 

And I might disappear 

But I really like this song

(written by Leslie Sink)

Poughkeepsie is my first single of 2026. This is how I described it on Facebook. It's a lonesome song about a ghost who misses her dog. Or maybe it's about two lovers. Or two siblings. Or rivals.
