I've been watching him for my entire life.
I hate the air he breathes, his foolish [E] debris, his words so clear.
I hate the way the townspeople gather outside.
They hang on to every breath, cling to his chest,
hold his heart full of pride.
But I'm not so proud to be where he lies.
It would be fine if I said it was a shame for the time we've left our demise.
Or am I just a shipwreck?
I like you.
That's the only [Ab] thing I see when I see you as a poet.
And [C] not just the muse.
What's not true, I aim my charm upon you.
We're like brothers, different from the demons,
spirit of the sea.
May the gods strike me down if I forsake you.
Ratamuse, you're beautiful, made it into you.
I'm ever grateful.
I'll never forget that you showed me the door.
I didn't know the love you showed me came from up here in Noble Whore.
I love you.
I'm proud of what I have with you.
Each night, thinking the opposite of [D] you.
I wish you'd be me.
[N] So wicked this way.
And as I said to face it, I'm unsure.
Should I embrace it?
Should I run?
What motivates me?
[Eb] Hatred?
Is it love?
What's more [Gm] wrong that I too [C] wish to be [N] great and my mother wished she'd had a son?
And even if I can't be the one,
maybe I could at least help make way for him until the day that he comes.
Maybe [Em] my name could also be known.
[G] That I help return good to [Gb] the people and restore greatness to Rome.
[C] Brutus!
Brutus!
Brutus!

_ _ _ _ _ _ My _ _ [Gm] _ [C] _ _ name is [Gm] Brutus and my name means heavy.
So with a heavy heart, I'll dive this dagger into the [Cm] heart of my [Eb] enemy.
My whole life you were teacher and friend to me.
[Gm] Please know my actions are [Cm] not motivated only by [Gm] envy.
I too have [Eb] a destiny.
This death will [Gm] be mine.
The people [Cm] will speak of it, say from here [Gm] to Foy.
This event [Cm] will be history and I'll [Gm] be red too.
I don't [Cm] want what you had.
I [Gm] want to be [N] you.

I'm a spark, _ an endless pain of being and I am scorned by the sun.
I'm a virgin, someone who curses sex.
My name is Brutus.
People call me Rex.
