Celebration(ed)

today you're a king
of the world you've wrecked
the party will go off without a hinge
we'll celebrate your delusions of adequacy
and your tales of abandonment
in search of your own comfort and happiness

i'm not sure what song we'll sing in your honor
oh great king, of the hidden country side
tell the tale of the battles you've fought and lost
we'll clap, sigh, laugh and hide our faces
in submission to your will

blow out the candles kindled by our fear
of breaking your heart
we really are sorry our busy lives have excluded you
we're sorry nobody really wants you
and that you're completely alone

we ask the begging question
along with you
"What did I do to deserve all of this?"
we all know the answer
do you?
