Fifteen Minutes
Drifting through cities of faces and names
Your eyes empty pools of television light
Watch clockwork idols implode from their fame
And pretend you had nothing to do with their plight
So still in the midst of the chaos you made
Exposed by the spotlight you viciously crave
Legends deceive while reality fades
Passion can murder, indifference can save
Speaking so slightly, enslaving their minds
Though they love what you made them they can’t meet your eyes
Living out roles you so sweetly assigned
Record feral rants and slow-motion demise
Be wary of those you treat with disdain
Crazed victims lurk and plot their attack
Valerie Solanas was never quite sane
Your heartbeat quickens and all goes black
