Listen to me. You have to consider the possibility that God doesnt like you. He never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you. - Tyler Durdan

You only inspire
When the people forget you

Dark slippery parking lot
You only trip
When the people hurry up

Wise American gendered king
You only think
Exactly what you want

You only carry me
A little bit off course.

Gilded might be the wrong word though. Not nearly as evocative as it...
