Empire of Coffee

CHEESE'S NOTE: Made with the help of CrashingCymbal. Affectionate parody of the NIN song "Hurt".

---

I drank some coffee today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the grains
the only thing that's real

The coffee maker burns a hole
the old familiar drink
try to spill it down the drain
but I remember everything

What have I become?
My Starbucks friend
Everyone I know goes to Dunkin Donuts, in the end

And Cymbal could have it all
my empire of coffee
I will let you down
I will make you coffee

I wear this crown of grains
upon my Starbucks CEO chair
Full of broken thoughts
I can not repair
Beneath the stains of caffeine
the tastes will disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
My Starbucks friend
Everyone I know
Goes to Dunkin Donuts in the end

And Cymbal could have it all
my empire of coffee
I will let you down
I will make you coffee

If I could drink again
a million coffeehouses away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
