Â
In Celebration of
a Rain Cloud's Glimmer
Â
Â
The idea of celebrity, scary
At the funeral there isn't a casket to carry
Â
The celebrity illusion burns
The longevity illusion burns
Only a word defined; letters float, reaching high
Ashes rain down on those who worship.
Â
Open your mouth for a taste of them
Fame sizzle the tongue
A grasp of an ash is a foolish task to partake in
They would never touch your hand if they could avoid it.
Â
The smell of ash rain is sweet, it waters the eyes
Burn yourself in a money bed
They will be horrified and make biopics
Fame lost in the flames.
Â
Unrecognizable corpse, the funeral is funny
Wipe a tear with a bill and throw it away
Â
No, burn bills before others can touch them
“The scariest thing is the undeserving.”
Â
That's what you believe from a high tower
Wave those dreams away
They all form below
Pray heavy, no shower after hours.
