It’s the return of the almighty all-knowing
Omnipotent, the ultimate ruler with an iron fist, your highness
And brass knuckles set with a titanium brain
A couple bronze kneecaps and a heart full of pain
I’m a statue of society I built up from the ground
All your other kings are peasants, all your citizens are bound
To my 87,000-part list of commandments
And those who don’t follow are immediately banished
To rot and burn in the worst of parts of purgatory
Per my request and I demand it’s mandatory
Any man or fool who’s gonna dare to put his hands to me
Is dancing with the devil in the details of my destiny
Ain’t never been a ruler like this man
You should watch the way I make the cities crumble and descend
Into the depths that many thought were always out of reach
I can never be outnumbered, I can never be impeached
I’m the baddest of the sentient beings
I’m the most indignant monarch that you have ever seen
I’m the scariest of leaders that I fear for myself
If I ever were to die there would be nobody else
I’m the last real possibility for rebirth and change
I’m the final nail for coffins that read galaxy names
When the world begins to fall there will never be another
I’m the type of motherfucker that’ll make you kill your brother
It’s the recall of the recoiled unknowing
Unconfident, incompetent, ruler with a lot of shit to work through
And hands all corroded from a burnt out brain
A couple broke kneecaps and heart full of shame
I’m still shaking at the the thought of it, I should’ve believed you
When you told me I would crack and die and like Julius Seizure
With the laws I tried to make but couldn’t put in effect
All the saints came marching in and then they put me to death
And they tore off all my limbs, got the silverest of platters
And served my body piecemeal to the young upcoming alphas
Who all were raging furiously to take on my place
I hope they understand the agony ‘cause that’s what it takes
To be the overruling master for a land that’s obstructed
By his own fluorescent follies and his quest for destruction
I think every disappointed young man has a need
To possess a power that he will not ever receive
I’m the saddest of the forceful reports
I’m the last person you think of when you speak of remorse
I’m the scarediest leaders that I cannot control
I kinda wish that I could die and just be thrown in a hole
I’m the first one to be recognized as failure and fault
I’m the worst at everything with which I still am involved
When the world begins to fall there’s gonna have to be another
I’m the type of motherfucker that can get killed by his brother

Gettin’ down with the liars
Two-faced trickery, tough trip wires
Virtue is the most difficult thing you can admire
Sing no songs to a disapproving choir
Two years in the building
Three floors, four elevators, five queries
Who what where when why becomes very
Difficult to describe, future’s getting scary
Black leather with a gold typeface
Representing last-minute high-stress migraines
An abundance of anxiety in young right brains
No sleep, no sex, just late night pains
And a regret monologue break in this
No food, no fight, no face in this
Just uptight, dumb, strung, misfit kids
With a half-finished list of accomplishments
Get a job, get a house, get hitched
To a partner who don’t know what “art school” is
Save your best made plans for the easily impressed
And acceptance speech for the often unaddressed
Flash a resumé to anyone who’ll read it
Good luck talking up, no one really needs it
“Hi, that’s great, goodbye, no thanks”
Eight syllables that make it kinda difficult to breathe in
Still stuck on your two-year crush
Makes your guts twist up ‘cause you mad fucked up
Every lyric wasted on her is a word too much
Every text is a curse and it spells “you suck”
But you didn’t need anyone to tell you that
No heart, no home, no future plans
When your brain is a commodity of two right halves
Always losing at the lottery, no free tax
Play songs that’ll make it seem like you truly achieved greatness
Play hard like the jocks who never punched out what your name is
Hate all of the girlfriends who you claim did you some wrong
Hate all of the boyfriends who they went with once you were gone
Breakdowns are common nature to the ones who let them spiral
Break off into different people for the holy self revival
Shake trends and stereotypes that your peers used to put on you
Shake, stir, repeat, concur with the rumors and the drama
Keepin’ up with the gossip
Two years later on, worth agnostic
Systematic deities are difficult to worship
Make no prayers to the inattentive Goddess
Two decades on terraform
Three makes middle-aged, four makes uniform
Increasingly uninterested in Hallmark greeting cards
Every message ends with “here’s to many more”
But how many more can I survive?
With a sharp fear of death and a lust for life
If I had a real purpose across the light
Then I could walk away without a burning fight
Gimme two bedrooms and a place to nosh
And a spot for my records and my VCR
With a little nook or cranny for my bass guitars
If I could just have that it wouldn’t be so hard

Soviet Cyrus
Disbelief and apathy pouring out her eyelids
Bad at taking orders, great at seeming mindless
Eleven dollars later, you're struck with enteritis
Paralyzed legs sit right atop the tiles
Grab a magazine, gonna be there for a while
Think of how she asked you, lacking any smile
Stench is spreading outward, smelling fucking vile
Some girls will make it seem like they are your world
Some girls will make it seem like there are no other girls
Some girls will make you buy lots of diamonds and such
Some girls will make you food that makes you fuckin throw up
Keep pushing but it just won't drop
Keep begging but it just won't stop
Keep sitting now your legs gone numb
Keep shitting now your tongue tastes dung
Most unfortunately morbid
Shoulda gotten somethin else, knew you could afford it
Now you've lost a couple hours, water into orbit
Every time you flush but you keep creating more of it
This feeling just won't cease its getting harder to take
It keeps on coming down, why won't it just take a break
Never again will you return to her
Until you need a cheap fix of a southern order
