heroin(e)

I’m so sick of superman
But I’ll die to be your hero
This sickness steals who I am
Feelin high, but layin’ low
Lie to me…be my heroin(e)
And I’ll learn to fly again

I’m so sick of supergirls
But I have to let the world know
That I need their love, that’s who I am
A fading star…gonna explode
But if you can be my heroin(e)
Maybe this wont be the end

And even if it’s not real
Only lost in how I feel
Convulsing in a padded cell
Awake or dreaming
I can’t tell

Except to say I’m coming down
To the real world and the sound
Of  crumbling walls that only pound
On my head
I was never anyone’s hero
And I need no heroin(e)

I’m so sick of living lies
But still need to be the hero
Save the world…wanna fly
Don’t wanna let you go
Come back and be my heroin(e)
And we will live so bold

But I can’t fix this universe
Can’t even save myself
Can’t fly till I strip away this curse
From a life that I can’t tell
Truth from love, and love from a fix
That’s bound to leave me cold

And even if it’s not real
Only lost in how I feel
Convulsing in a padded cell
Wide awake or dreaming
I can never tell

Except to say I’m coming down
To the real world and the sound
Of  crumbling walls pounding
On my head
I was never anyone’s hero
And I need no heroin(e)

And now I say goodbye
To all my needs to fly
But I’m just gonna fly
One more time…

And even if it’s not real
Only lost in how I feel
Convulsing in a padded cell
Wide awake or dreaming
I can never tell

Except to say I’m coming down
To the real world and the sound
Of crumbling walls pounding
On my head
I was never anyone’s hero
And I need no heroin(e)
