Now What?

It's out It's done It's finally here Months and months of working, trying Pushing till I felt like dying No less than the best It had to be great Perfect, flawless, existential Surpassing all of man's potential And now it's here And it's perfect The best thing human hands could ever make The proof of my brilliance Never have I ever been prouder and that's great Now what? I worked my brain to the bone Beat my head against stone Formulating the perfect recipe My tears fell on each page That split apart in my rage So many times I wanted to leave But now I've made it And I've claimed it The throne is mine No one can take it Or contest it For the rest of time You'd think I'm in euphoria now that I'm at the top But how could this king's success do anything but drop As I sit here alone On this musical throne Trying to fight off a mutiny My heart yearns for the stage Trapped in my own handmade cage But each note I play scares away the key But still I've made it I've claimed it This throne is mine No one can take it Or contest it For the rest of time Truly wish I had the time to enjoy being at the top But how could I when my success can't do anything but drop Each passing moment pulls me further under Is this how it feels to be a one-hit wonder Why can't I do it right again Is this how my so-called story ends What is this constant whispering And why won't it let me do it all again I try not to let my mind fall asunder But I'm no better than a one-hit wonder I'll never do it right again This is how my story comes to an end Even now I hear the whispering And the cycle begins again It keeps going and going and growing my urge to explode And erode everything that I know I try harder, push farther, think smarter but it's a joke On the oak I'll lie till I croak You worked your brain to the bone Beat your head against the stone Formulated the perfect recipe Now what do you have to show A success but where can you go What use is your perfect recipe Now what can you be
