Collateral Damage: The Friendly Fire Anthem

Yeah, I suit up, cape on, but I’m my own worst villain,

Every mission I step in, somehow I’m the one killin’

What I’m tryna protect, what I swore I’d defend,

Blowing holes in my squad, can’t even pretend.

They call me Friendly Fire, man, I burn my own crew,

Like every word out my mouth’s a stray shot I threw.

I’m tryna save the day, but the damage is mine,

My rescue turns to ruin by the end of the line.

I’m a self-sabotage superhero,

Saving the city, but my own score’s zero.

Fighting for good while I tear myself down,

I’m the punchline king wearin’ a broken crown.

It’s like my aim’s cursed, my powers miswired,

Every step forward’s two bridges I’ve fired.

Got the strength, got the will, got the heart to fight,

But I trip on my ego in the dead of night.

I can stop a villain cold, but can’t stop my doubt,

Turn my wins into losses, flip ‘em inside out.

Every ally I got learns to duck when I’m near,

‘Cause the blast from my hands is what they all fear.

I’m a self-sabotage superhero,

Saving the city, but my own score’s zero.

Fighting for good while I tear myself down,

I’m the punchline king wearin’ a broken crown.

Maybe one day I’ll aim my fire the right way,

Stop mistaking my own for the enemy’s face.

But until then, I’m the hero you hope stays home,

‘Cause I’m better with dreams than I am with a throne.

So here’s to the fighters that fight themselves too,

We might save the world, but we’re bleeding on cue.

Friendly Fire in my blood, but I still stand tall,

Even heroes that fall can answer the call.
