(Superhero) One Last Chance To Save The World
Dressed fashionably in a false pretense
A mere show without any reality
This outward appearance, mistake identity
Affectation of something you could possibly never see (appreciate)
This jacket of ordinary
I rip from off my back
Still just another face among the masses
With each bumping shoulder
No one seems to care too much
About the one that walks among them
If I could loosen the grip from around their necks
Or pull them out
From the sea of their selfishness in which they're about to drown
Would I still want to be this hero?
Storybook endings, movie scene endings
Is all a dream
I just want to take my generic ability
Because is there even one worth saving?
I want to be (see) what I believe
But would rather put on this display
And appear to bathe in all this false glory
Where I'll still have me
And that's all I really need
Dressed fashionably in a false pretense
A mere show without any reality
This outward appearance, mistake identity
Affectation of something you could possibly never see (appreciate)
This jacket of ordinary
I rip from off my back
Still just another face among the masses
With each bumping shoulder
No one seems to care too much
About the one that walks among them
If I could loosen the grip from around their necks
Or pull them out
From the sea of their selfishness in which they're about to drown
Would I still want to be this hero?
Storybook endings, movie scene endings
Is all a dream
I just want to take my generic ability
Because is there even one worth saving?
I want to be (see) what I believe
But would rather put on this display
And appear to bathe in all this false glory
Where I'll still have me
And that's all I really need
