Coronation by dot.darkness published on 2022-10-22T15:54:03Z My hands are shaking I'm losing my mind Seeing the ghosts I thought I'd left behind My grief is heavy A blight on my home I'm only a burden So I'll cede the throne One by one they start to meet their demise Wringing their hands of ethnological crimes Know your place outsider Or you'll be next in the fire Contain the screams that echo silently inside of me Maintain composure, medicate for the anxiety I've been witness to the hell of living in community The social structure I had longed for was illusory Dreaming of the day when I would sacrifice myself to you Repeat the cycle Take the fall to try for something new The crown I bear is a display of human empathy You've brought me shame and now I'm taking back my dignity I've made my choice to toss your bones into the machine Light up the torch and watch them burn before the May Queen The sun is beaming A brilliant display Color and vibrance Exposing decay You're disengaging I'm done with the chase Letting you in Brought me only disgrace Gather around and enter into my pain Push it all out and let the wailing sustain When the pyre crumbles Can't help but grin at the rubble I danced in circles round the legacy you'd built for me Kicking up dirt until the ground had formed a grave beneath I've made you the martyr that you'd always thought yourself to be Wearing the skin of just another wasted devotee Keep on believing with that vacant look upon your face That you're the one with all the power Make no mistake It has to end to end this way It has to end Genre Electronic
