I am Pilate and I'm Jesus and I wept when Lennon died
Yet I envied his assailant when I visited the shrine
I cried for all those Beatle fans so old so quick they grow
I follow the example to destroy what I love most

I once hid my lust for stardom like a filthy magazine
I stroked the shaft on my guitar and watched you on the screen
I've become now what I wanted to be all along
A psychopathic poet, the Devil's bastard son

from Game Of Thrones doing her pensive whinydance.
sayin, "But fahtha, it's what I always waaahnted . . ."
