I Don’t Want a Hero

~ Lyrics ~

A pretty toxic shock collar 

A pretty tempting revolver 

A little pretty mess left all over 

I don’t want a hero I want closure 

I saw you bleed I saw you cry 

I saw the things in your mind that you hide

I saw your devils I saw your demons 

I saw the angels you still don’t believe in

I seen the bad I seen the good 

I seen you do things that I that wish I could 

I seen the cuts I seen the blood 

I seen it all coming before it was done 

I saw the monsters inside of you that you tried to hide inside a silent room 

I saw the writing on the wall 

I knew you would burn before you would fall 

I watched you take, I watched you give 

But I never thought that you would take what you did 

I watched you break I watched you bend 

But in the end the problem is it’s… 

A pretty toxic shock collar 

A pretty tempting revolver 

A little pretty mess left all over 

I don’t want a hero I want closure 

Cause it hurts when you say my name 

But it’s worse when you don’t say a thing 

And it burns when you let me close 

But when you’re gone is when I feel froze

The elephant in my room of expectations

The things that I do that I can’t say and 

The monster in my heart leaves me vacant 

Thoughts in a mind of blank spaces 

I see I joy and I see pain 

And I see things that I can’t explain 

I see love and I see hate

And I see it all in your face  

I seen you break down right now rain clouds 

In your eyes no surprise I see pain now 

Wonder where it came from wonder why we’re all numb 

I wonder why super man won’t save us 

I saw the end when it started 

It only made me think that I wish that I was smarter 

It only made me think that I wish that I worked harder 

But we sat on our hands and asked God for a savior, faith hurts 

And it’s dangerous ain’t it hate it but we can’t change it our minds go faceless 

No more room for an explanation 

Cause we filled in the space with hate when we realized it’s

A pretty toxic shock collar 

A pretty tempting revolver 

A little pretty mess left all over 

I don’t want a hero I want closure 

Cause it hurts when you say my name 

But it’s worse when you don’t say a thing 

And it burns when you let me close 

But when you’re gone is when I feel froze
