Three guineas for a view of the spectacle
Unobstructed, and pristine
Etched in chalk and unambiguous
Nothing like what was advertised
And I thought we’d watch this fall
Etched in chalk and unambiguous
Nothing like what was advertised
And I thought we’d watch this fall
And after all of this I thought you and I would watch this fall

I see your lips moving
But I don’t care for what you have to say
I can’t avoid your opinion
But who asked you anyway?
Why are you always the loudest?
Why can’t you stop being a narcissist?
Why can’t you stop?
I’m sick of your power games
And your power trips
Too bad the power’s out
And your power’s up
Why are you always the loudest?
Why can’t you stop being a narcissist?
Why can’t you stop?

Past

Distant thoughts
Dreamt in greyscale
Empty buzzwords
Another false start
Future preyed on
Deadline past
Weaponized nostalgia
Another false start
This distance between us
Every day the same
This distance between us festers and grows every day

An undercurrent
Always there
Ominous spectres
All I know is that I shouldn’t have come here
Millstone around my neck
Lights out and braced for a fall
Back in this place again
The walls are closing in
Lights out, lights out
Braced for a fall

Peerage

Vaunted advantage
Peerless esteem
Your profiled promises
And it’s all going to waste
Record majority
Not what it seemed
Fleet footed exit
And it’s all going to waste
Your lies
Turned out to be
Promises
Matchless acclaim
A fleeting glimpse
Righteous advance
And it’s all going to waste
Trapped in a crowd
Doomscrolling mess
No one can sleep
And it’s all going to waste
Come back for your flowers
Come back for your crown
Come back for your moment
It won’t have been a waste
Your lies
Turned out to be
Promises

Now that’s it’s over
Do you feel better
You won’t grow older
What would you have said to him?
Is this growing up or just an existential crisis?
Is this burning out or just hanging by the last thread?
Now that it’s over
Now that we’re sober
We’ve all grown colder
What should she say to him?
Is this growing up or just an existential crisis?
Is this burning out or just hanging by the last thread?

Hostile thoughts and wasted warnings
Bought and sold these wasted hours
Wasted thoughts at the point of admission
Last call last chance once again
It’s only going to get worse
Torn up every previous victory
Grown up sold out on the cheap
Tuned in turned off to this misery
Wasted thoughts and wasted hours
It’s only going to get worse
Wasted thoughts wasted hours

Now say it again with conviction
No lesson to be learned just a curse on your house
Defunct tech tuned to dead channels
You can believe whatever helps you sleep
When in Rome, watch from the hills
When in Rome, when Rome is burning
Big things coming
Bigger things crumbling to ash around us
And then everyone clapped
You can believe whatever helps you sleep
When in Rome, watch from the hills
When in Rome, when Rome is burning
Still turning a blind eye to this
Running away, turning a blind eye to this
Rome is burning
Rome crumbles down
