SUPERHERO-Ryan Oakes

Put on a mask And fade into black Wishing that I took a path That wasn’t to be A punching bag Panic attacks They’re whipping my ass Hit ‘em back A double jab At the root of it cause Cuz I lack Caution Got a tickin’ time bomb buried in my conscience And a couple skeletons slipping thru the coffins Traumas hard to digest when your stomach knotted From all the adrenaline mixing with the toxins What kind of stable man wakes up and wants to wear a suit and cape I think I’m crazy I wish someone here would check my mental state I got everything I asked for now But I don’t wanna be a superhero I just wanna bleed like everyone Let me feel the pain so I can heal Falling on my knees I’m giving up Can’t be a superhero A superhero (A superhero) Put on a cape To try to escape My mistakes Still lying awake While all of the lies Ricochet Ripping through the brain They manipulated Away Everyone I saved Will happily dig Me a grave Nauseous Life been like a war zone taking heavy losses Feeling like I’m next up so I’m playin’ possum Don’t believe in white flags, rather be a hostage What’s another flesh wound I’m already rotten Running out of options Scared I’ll push daisies before I ever blossom I feel a little crazy life turned into Gotham Got pushed over the edge to the bottom But I don’t wanna be a superhero I just wanna bleed like everyone Let me feel the pain so I can heal Falling on my knees I’m giving up Can’t be a superhero A superhero A superhero A superhero A superhero (A superhero)
