No Superman

[Verse 1]
They hang capes on my shoulders
Say I'm gonna fix this town
Every crisis
Every phone call
I'm the one who can't break down
Joking that I'm bulletproof
While I'm taping up these cracks
Smile painted on like armor
But I'm always watching my back
[Chorus]
I'm no Superman
I've been bleeding under all this steel
You hold your world in my hands
But who holds me when I can't even stand what I feel
Saving you is burning me out
And I can't keep pulling us through
I'm no Superman
Someone save me too
[Verse 2]
You say "you’re my only hope"
Like it's some kind of praise
But your storms live in my ribcage
And they never blow away
Every secret like an anchor
Dragging circles in my head
You sleep fine by midnight
I'm still wired
Wide awake in my bed
[Chorus]
I'm no Superman
I've been bleeding under all this steel
You hold your world in my hands
But who holds me when I can't even stand what I feel
Saving you is burning me out
And I can't keep pulling us through
I'm no Superman
Someone save me too
[Bridge]
I need a break
From always being brave
From every "are you okay?"
That I forget to say
I need a hand
To pull me off this ledge
Just to sit here in the silence
Just to lean on you instead (hey)
[Chorus]
I'm no Superman
I've been bleeding under all this steel
You hold your world in my hands
But who holds me when I can't even stand what I feel
Saving you is burning me out
And I can't keep pulling us through
I'm no Superman
I'm just human
Bruised
I'm no Superman
Someone save me too

rock, Gritty alt-rock with overdriven guitars and male vocals; verses ride a mid-tempo, palm-muted groove that lets the lyric bite, then choruses explode with open chords, gang shouts, and a soaring top-line. Big, roomy drums and a thick bass lock in for a head-nod pocket; bridge drops to half-time with echoing lead guitar before a full-band, shout-along final chorus.
