Broken Hero

[Verse]
Shadows in my chest where the heartbeat used to dwell,
Holes in the armor, carry stories I won’t tell.
Mirror shows a face I can’t even recognize,
Broken cape trailing, drowning under cloudy skies.
[Chorus]
Heroes ain’t perfect, scars on every page,
Fighting for a cause but locked inside a cage.
Tears mix with rain, drown me slow on my path,
A broken past echoes, fury tied to wrath.
[Verse 2]
Streetlights flicker, like my distant memories,
Wounds wide open, but they fade into obscenities.
Dreams fell apart, crumbled castles in the sand,
Every victory lost when they slipped out my hand.
[Bridge]
They praise the shining—but shadows bear the cost,
The glitter of their love couldn’t heal what I lost.
Words melt to whispers, smoke fills my lungs,
Suffocating silence where my melody once sung.
[Verse 3]
Pedestal cracked under weight of broken vows,
Halo tilts downward, questions asking how.
World keeps moving, I’m stuck in second gear,
Hero of a story only written in my tears.
[Chorus]
Heroes ain’t perfect, scars on every page,
Fighting for a cause but locked inside a cage.
Tears mix with rain, drown me slow on my path,
A broken past echoes, fury tied to wrath.
