Just a Jester

I will defy all the laws of the natural world
And I will pay my tribute to this mortal time
Prosperity is not what I seek
And if the outcome of my efforts is to stand the test
Maybe then I can finally rest

For so long I awaited my turn to entertain
I sipped all the poison you offered and spat out oceans of magic
For how long must I endure this humiliation
Before you spare me your laughter

Let me tickle the beast within you
I want to be the feast it devours
I have learnt that the price of production
Is to be consumed by its outcome
Just like the smoke that seduced the air
Let me seduce your imagination to follow this trail

I am a bag filled with the breaths of those
Whose voices were a whisper
Let me be the bearer of bad news
So that your shoulders can feel lighter
I fall into the darkness only to hear death's laughter

Why won't you let me be just a jester
Just a jester
Just a jester
