[Intro Despot] Despot, the ironfisted tyrant [Verse 1 Despot] Oh, what a wonderful World slowly morphing into a sullen wasteland Of apathy as the misled masses look unhappily I chalk up every passing day as a forgotten tragedy Try to escape into a page, but my brain has begun To atrophy. The weight of the truth has shattered this last Menagerie, pulling me abruptly out of my virtual Reality. Now Im running from actuality Threw caution to the wind, and then a draft blew it right back to me I shot the breeze and left it crippled and limping Cause Ill murder meaningless murmurs with clever words and nimble thinking Look out below! That pedestal you sit atop is sinking This world is all a royal scam, intent to leave one thinking How is it that empires fall from foolish blunders? While allowing Dreamscapes, they paint galaxies by number The boundary between reality and fallacy Is torn asunder when exiting my mystical realm of wonders Cause, every time I open my eyes, apparitions rise The same ones that pester me in my slumber Theyre growing stronger, no longer willing to stay imprisoned In my imaginative faculty, forming a phalanx that will Stretch across the expanse of this galaxy Tactfully eliminating the oppression thats off avenging From living our lives happily by haphazardly Revoking that false sense of confidence that youve been lent Til you could no longer hide your swollen head in your hands In embarrassment, reveal your future faces Everyones eager to be repping but knows not what they represent
