Fragile Heroes |
I always wanted to tell you I needed you |
But now I’m glad that I never did |
Because I never lied about that at least |
It probably would have scared you, anyway |
One more excuse for you to run away |
And it scares me that you’re so easily scared |
What falsity did I lead my heart into this time |
Unfailingly nave |
Maybe I just fell in love with being the dream |
Ugh |
More and more |
I find I don’t want you |
Shit, another lie |
Tried to deceive myself |
It’s not easy |
It’s just pathetic |
Well |
They say we don’t need anyone at least |
Ugh |
You don’t know |
You never know |
And your uncertainty is infecting me |
Because now even I’m not sure |
Do I hate you for not being who I thought you were |
Or do I hate myself for loving one I’ve just created |
Didn’t you know |
A hero’s a most fragile thing |
One must never get close |
Enough to touch |
Or fuck |
For mortality can also be transmitted |
And with even a brush against our blemished human skin |
Slick with impious fluids |
Their skin becomes dry and cracked |
And holes form inside their perfect characters |
I guess now I can understand being let down |
By an ideal |
When heroes turn to cowards |
You start to resent your dreams |
You once glanced up into their brave |
Bright faces |
Now you can’t even meet their dull |
Downward turned eyes |
Plagued with constant failure |
The only thing they will ever succeed in is disappointing |
It’s so easy |
It’s so pathetic |
And so they stop trying |
And never give you the chance |
That was their promise to you |
Implied all |
