Second Hand Throne
A pompous tongue speaking words
From the mind that believes them gospel
Etiquette of delusion creates the illusion
You're up on your artificial pedestal
The ego manifests and leads you forward
Breaks down those in its way
The ones whom should be honoured
When harsh words speak truth you crumble
And playing victim doesn't make you humble
Your incompetence negates any honour you think you hold
You can't shape them in your mould
Claw your way to the top
Eat the shit, plate it up
Claw your way to the top
Swallow the shit, lick it up
Sitting behind feigned authority
You're forfeiting all loyalty
And with your true colours on show
You're just a false god sat on your second hand throne
And with no clarity, you're delusions spike your vanities
You're reigning in a shadow
Second place with your hand me down crown
The weight of your own self importance
Breaks the legs of the high horse you sit upon
Yet you whip it beyond breaking point
And cower when you feel it's scorn
Did it hurt when you learnt
That you can't get what you want
Just from being an entitled
Narcissistic cunt
They react to you just how you set them up to
Your play is foul yet you still yowl when they come for you
They're coming for you
Sitting behind feigned authority
You're forfeiting all loyalty
And with your true colours on show
You're just a false god sat on your second hand throne
And with no clarity, you're delusions spike your vanities
You're reigning in a shadow
Second place with your hand me down crown
Climbing the ladder that's endless
Lost all your allies after you kicked them down
Blinded by egotistic self importance
Was it worth it for your knock off second hand throne
Fabricated throne
Egomaniacal to the core, you believe you deserve more
A foul taste on your tongue and soul
From licking righteous arseholes raw
You sport a target on your head oblivious of their weapons drawn
Accustomed to the taste of bullshit, you preach it as new law
Sitting behind feigned authority
You're forfeiting all loyalty
And with your true colours on show
You're just a false god sat on your second hand throne
And with no clarity, you're delusions spike your vanities
You're reigning in a shadow
Second place with your hand me down crown
Climbing the ladder that's endless
Lost all your allies after you kicked them down
Blinded by egotistic self importance
Was it worth it for your knock off second hand throne
From the mind that believes them gospel
Etiquette of delusion creates the illusion
You're up on your artificial pedestal
The ego manifests and leads you forward
Breaks down those in its way
The ones whom should be honoured
When harsh words speak truth you crumble
And playing victim doesn't make you humble
Your incompetence negates any honour you think you hold
You can't shape them in your mould
Claw your way to the top
Eat the shit, plate it up
Claw your way to the top
Swallow the shit, lick it up
Sitting behind feigned authority
You're forfeiting all loyalty
And with your true colours on show
You're just a false god sat on your second hand throne
And with no clarity, you're delusions spike your vanities
You're reigning in a shadow
Second place with your hand me down crown
The weight of your own self importance
Breaks the legs of the high horse you sit upon
Yet you whip it beyond breaking point
And cower when you feel it's scorn
Did it hurt when you learnt
That you can't get what you want
Just from being an entitled

Your play is foul yet you still yowl when they come for you

You're just a false god sat on your second hand throne
And with no clarity, you're delusions spike your vanities
You're reigning in a shadow
Second place with your hand me down crown
Climbing the ladder that's endless
Lost all your allies after you kicked them down
Blinded by egotistic self importance

And with no clarity, you're delusions spike your vanities
You're reigning in a shadow
Second place with your hand me down crown
Climbing the ladder that's endless
Lost all your allies after you kicked them down
Blinded by egotistic self importance
Was it worth it for your knock off second hand throne
