Nicks in echoes

crown me! crown me!
demands when he played
both colors of the checkerboard
unfair! unfair!
cries when he got his way
but it wasn't served on a silver platter
begone! begone!
barks when he thinks he can
but realizes there's more to it than that
mean! mean!
bawls when he looks in the mirror
daily and sees what's really looking back
it's fun! it's fun!
lies when he's not going to admit
his treading is quickly turning into sinking
I heard! I heard!
excuses when he speaks
but nothing of value is said
they'll do! they'll do!
dispenses when he has to pay
all the pipers who play him like a drum
fake! fake!
screams when the truth
is a pill he doesn't keep in his cabinet
