She made her entrance as The Undisputed Queen Underlings scrabbled To see her, to be seen She favored no one Lest they favor her more She sighed and she waited To take over the floor Striking a pose High up on her stage Bathed in the glow Of her personal glory She never perspired Lest she grow tired Playing her role Cold as ice in a bowl Losing herself In an act of delusion She couldn't hold on to her precious illusion It slipped through her fingers And out of her hands Despite her persona And her endless demands The house lights were out The crowd was long gone No more props No more set For emoting upon The moment was over For the lines she had blown She walked off of the stage And she went home alone.

The Monster's Bride
She made her entrance as The Undisputed Queen Underlings scrabbled To see her, to be seen She favored no one Lest they favor her more She sighed and she waited To take over the floor Striking a pose High up on her stage Bathed in the glow Of her personal glory She never perspired Lest she grow tired Playing her role Cold as ice in a bowl Losing herself In an act of delusion She couldn't hold on to her precious illusion It slipped through her fingers And out of her hands Despite her persona And her endless demands The house lights were out The crowd was long gone No more props No more set For emoting upon The moment was over For the lines she had blown She walked off of the stage And she went home alone.
