The Queen's Dagger (July 31 1997 / Vermont)

'expect to be accepted',
if you do so, you'll be let down.
The world doesn't want to
see you wearing a crown.
No, it would rather that you drown.

'expect to be noticed',
not unless you make a fool of yourself
and forget who you are inside,
running away towards the hellish normality;
your very soul will be fried.

Expect to be hated and loathed and despised,
for others to look upon you
with venom in their eyes,
and you may be pleasantly surprised.
