elvis has left the building

Folder: 
hunger

the king is dead
and we are all the new kings and queens
of our own world
emulating lies to the life
of our heroes
men and women
just like us
i close and lock the door on my past
hiding in ur shadows
softly testing the bars
with the light touch of a word
or a look
as spirit stretches out
door shut tight..
hear the slam as i step out of
the shadows..
heere t stay..
walking into the world
leaving my own life
to become my own hero..
elvis has left the building..
i had a dream where him and james dean
stood on a corner..
classic pose match struck
light emblazons the dark
whispy smoke trails
as elvis left the building..
and i became my own hero..
cleaning the closet of my mind..
grabbed the plaque of arrogance
and the sash of pain tied to my waist..
stepping out to become my own hero..
remembering the fact that elvis has left
the building
