Could It Be the Beginning of a Composition

Could it be the beginning of a composition?
Take this Proposition, make an accusation that will lead to elimination.
Fire breathing dragons eating up this large society
Taking down the weakest and starting up a rivalry
Standing in the kitchen watching the raindrops racing down
Have I heard the slight drizzle, have I heard this sweet sound?
While I stare into the distance i come to a realization
That the very existence of the earth and the human population 
It’s probably just a story on the last page of a book.

I will fight as much as I can but I don’t think it will help
I’m a useless being trying to come out on top 
Just hit me with a belt it might give me a satisfying shock.

Take my hand and we’ll venture through a cave
Where it’ll lead me, I don’t think I’m sane
I will drag you down with me
Only if, you come willingly

Now I think I could rise up out of the ground 
If my soul were strong enough I could break the issue down
But I’m not
I’m weak,
I have a brain that hardly works 
And I’m slowly losing sleep.
Now tell me have you ever heard about my sickening desire 
The desire to take the world and take all of its power
I might, I just might
Be able to take the things I want now, 
It would be nice if I knew how
Oh won’t you pull me in
Oh won’t you come and sing
Pitter patter raindrops drum
Sing along to the raindrop song.

The last key on a grand piano
Screaming in the darkest shadow
Of a room layered in paper and dust
The room does not do the piano just
I want to hear all your thoughts
I want to see through your eyes
Memories that you have caught
Some that lead to a big surprise

Will you come and dance with me?
Whisk me away into the night?
A happy girl I will be
If you do it right.
