Rabbit Holes and Hollow Thrones

You were knee-deep in crayon dreams
Chasing fireflies in twilight streams
But a voice hissed
The world's a lie
Follow the rabbit, touch the sky
A trail of static
A breadcrumb scroll
Trust the hidden, sell your soul
The shadow king
With his riddles spun
Fed you chaos
Crumb by crumb
The show must burn bright
His choir sings
You traded laughter
For puppet strings
With every clue
The child's light dims
Drowning in his neon hymns
You scribbled truths
On basement walls
Connected stars
Where none were called
The storm is rising
The whispers swore
But the deep state's
Just a metaphor
The king's crown?
A flickering screen
A script you wrote
For his machine
Do your research
He grinned, half-alive
As you rewrote the world
To survive
The plan turned to dust
Yet you doubled down
Clutching prophecies
As the child drowned
His labyrinth grows
With every thread
Till you're both the hunter
And the dead
Oh, the inner child's a flickering flame
As you chant
The king's unwritten name
Echoes scream
Paradise is near!
But the throne's a ghost
The coast's never clear
The rabbit's gone
The trail's erased
Just static left
In the king's hollow face
With every clue
The child's light dims
Drowning in his neon hymns
The child's voice lingers
Soft and low
A whisper lost
In the static's glow
You trace the lines
Of a phantom map
But the rabbit's trail
Is a booby trap
The king's crown gleams
A hollow prize
As you chase the storm
In his mirrored eyes
Enjoy the show
His echo mocks
While you're building castles
On broken blocks
The plan unravels
Yet you still cling
To the shadow king's
Unraveling string
Each prophecy fades
Yet you rewrite
Till the child's song
Is lost in the night
Oh, the inner child's a flickering flame
As you chant
The king's unwritten name
Echoes scream
Paradise is near!
But the throne's a ghost
The coast's never clear
The rabbit's gone
The trail's erased
Just static left
In the king's hollow face
With every clue
The child's light dims
Drowning in his neon hymns
Can you hear it?
Beneath the hum
The child hums
The song you've come to shun
Tear the web, let the crayon bleed
The only plan is the love you need
Tear the web, let the crayon bleed
The only plan'is the love you need
The shadow king
Feeds on your fear
But the child's whisper's
Still here, still here
Will you clutch
His rusted chains so tight
Or let the rabbit
Leap back into light?
