Weakness

Strength is weakness
When it's out of control
When you steamroll
Over an entire home
Like a tornado spinning
Everybody hitting
Not a body left, it
Wrecks all around it
When does it stop?
When I'm at the top,
Using corpses for blocks?
When nobody knocks
Because I'm all alone
On a choking throne
Of a broken home
The broken's all my own
Fault.
