I’ve been watching him for my entire life
I hate the air he breathes
His foolish decrees, his words so contrived
I hate the way the townspeople gather outside
They hang on every breath, cling to his chest
Home to his heart full of pride
The oracle told him to beware the ides
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t wishing for an untimely death or demise
Or am I just wishing I could be like you
that the people would see me too as a poet
And not just the muse
It’s not true, I don’t wish harm upon you
From birth we’ve been like brothers of different mothers with the spirit of the same womb
May the gods strike me down if I forsake you
Frater meus, you’re beautiful made
And to you I’m forever grateful
I’ll never forget that you showed me to make art
And I know the love you showed me came from a pure and noble heart
I love you and if you want I’ll call you king
But why do I lie awake each night thinking instead of you, it should be me?
Something wicked this way comes
As I set to face it, im unsure should I embrace it?
Should I run?
What motivates me, hatred or is it love?
What’s more wrong that I too wish to be great?
Or 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 my name could also be known
That I helped return good to the people and restored greatness to Rome
Brutus Brutus Brutus Brutus
Brutus Brutus Brutus Brutus
Brutus Brutus Brutus Brutus
Brutus Brutus Brutus Brutus
My name is Brutus and my name means heavy
So with a heavy heart
I’ll stab this dagger into the heart of my enemy
My whole life you were a teacher and friend to me
Please know my actions are not motivated only by envy
I too have a destiny
This death will be art
The people will speak of this day for near and afar
This event will be history
And I’ll be great too
I don’t want what you have
I wanna be you
I always knew I could be the one
Though I feel the endless pain of being
And I am scorched by the sun
of humble origins
and born of the cursed sex
My name is Brutus
But the people will call me Rex
