To Be An Emperor
there's a door in this wall in the corner of your hall.
inside i'll find answers to questions never asked.
inside finds cryptic cancer that heals our quaking breath.
but still. the night. it heaves. a laugh to deem it jest.
yeah. we're all so inclusive; welcome to our dream.
believe you're in a nightmare. just don't get sucked up by the scene.
close your eyes quickly, deary, and feel the amphetamine.
it spawns creativity as it burns through our veins.
and egos grow exponentially. sucking embers from the flame.
we're chic. heroin. broken bodies really do grant us top hand
in this societal game.
but a few sharpened phrases,
sent forth through shallow hazes,
grab us by the ankles
and drag us down to their level,
speaking shattered faiths.
rape! rape! this is blood-shot rape!
now words leave us breaking. cracking. standing empty.
(this is what happens when we, so arrogantly, lust for crowns of fame.)

so non-directionally angry.
with nothing but a lonely realization:
we're all just the same.
