Five seconds to impact
Take cover, enter, shelter
Sudden, shell-shock, run
Except the Alpha, post-Delta
Explosion over the masses
Now king of the people
Peasant, hush! Me?
Ego trapped in his dimple
Was I not your friend?
Now you pity me, only
Excuse you, I can speak
Purge what you've shown me
Oh, damn! Hail thy Majesty
Whatever you say, I shall do
Peasants lining up, rations
You think you are, who?
Wannabes, try-hards, scatterbrains
A dying crave for attention
What other medium than you, hm?
Fame with just one mention!
Damn!
Monster, monster!
Beast of the meta!
Fame for a head start
Shame for the better
Game like a hangman
Came like a letter
Like snail mail
And hodgepodges
Like failsafes
And dodgeballs
Like telly
And helli-
on, Felt me
And tell me
a, Story I-
Never mind
Blurry lines
Boundary lies
That.
Remember me? Yes, you do.
A voice too soft, combat cease
A speck of dust floating, right?
Cannonball words over the seas
Call me a small kid, a one, pitied
Like calling a birch tree racist
Tan skin as black as your smile, be
Disgusting, ¡tu vida feo!, your life is.
