Drowning To Swim

To be or not to be that is the question I don't need answered
I just am who I am and it is what it is
It can't be what's it's not and it's not what you think
So put your mind at ease while I find the keys to unlock this treasure chest of imagination
I don't take pennies for my thoughts
Each one is a golden ticket to a magic kingdom of my own making
I am both king and a loyal subject
The duality of true greatness can be a royal pain
But the satisfaction of success sends me soothing relief
Still I sit alone on my throne untouchable like Capone
I'm the one man mafia here to make the world an offer it can't refuse
To either be with me or against me there is no in-between, my dark side only deals in absolutes
Which is absolutely abhorrent to the light that once would abide inside but shined so bright it burned out abruptly
Leaving a frozen rock in a black hole

And me searching for a shooting star to wish that my soul wasn't stranded in such a dark space
