superheroes superheroes
gritty heroes snazzy heroes
people that are more than zeros
saviours savers reliable rescuers
running flying fucking fantastic
feel alone feel alone
someone to say it all
someone to state the startling
someone to stand in my stead
someone to sell me back my sorrow
enough is enough
said the superhero
while I cower in the crowd
with the rest of riff raff
we are one
we are nothing
we crave a hero to come save the day
this one that one
the worst day the best day
I don’t care if I need it
I don’t care if we deserve it
I just want superheros superheroes
gritty heroes snazzy heroes
people that are more than zeros
saviours savers reliable rescuers
running flying fucking fantastic
feel alone feel alone
