Hero

I've got this pain that I've been carrying on my back my whole life
It claws into my spine and cuts into me like a knife
Blood dripping down my skin as the cold creeps in
Living life is like a roller coaster and this is how I spin
This anxiety is a wolf that's got its jaws on my leg
And this depression is brown bear clawing at me
It's determined to break me down and eat me alive
It plots and schemes on me like a single mind hive
This venom unleashes carnage on my psyche like a toxin
And these villains are the worst trying get me like green goblin
Fuck the hobgoblin I need someone to save me like Robin
But I never stay down as long as my hearts still throbbin
A hero takes the burden on alone but who helps him to his home
Who's the one that checks on him when he is all alone
Who changes the bandages and wipes the tears away
I guess we just gotta be our own hero at the end of the day

It ain't easy living in this world
And most heroes don't usually get the girl
We just give and give and they take and take
We just get bloodied bruised and beaten till we break
I've been fighting this depression and anxiety since I was like nine
And half the time I fake a smile and say I'm fine
But when in fact deep down I'm lost and drowning
Couldn't afford the cost and they look at me frowning
But I've been carrying this burden all alone for too long
And if you've been there too than this is your song
Why does everything feel so fucking wrong
Just trying to ease my stress with heroics and a bong
But now I'm fucking screaming out for somebody to help me
Ope no ones coming guess I gotta be that entity
Gotta get my own back and start swimming against the waves
Gotta dig my way up out the fucking ground and out of this grave

I'm used to being the hero
But now I need a hero to come save me
Guess ill climb my own way up slow
Out of my fucking anxiety
I need to be my own hero
Cus ain't no hero gonna save me
I wear this mask for a fucking show
To kill my depression cus i'm crazy

I'm on fire and my soul is freezing over
I live in the heat but I'm only growing colder
Try to be there to save everyone who needs it
But who's there for the hero oh no I never see it
Going up against foes like the red skull and knull
And still my worst enemy is in my head bowl
This depression never lets me get deep rest and
This anxiety is too heavy and much too grand
I'm being torn apart by each plus my financial state
Then add in every relationship I still have to this date
Trying to be the protector and knight in shining armor
But they worry if I'll come home or end up a goner
So i'm no longer praying and hoping for some help
I'm climbing out that well by my fucking self oh welp
I am my own hero and ill save my own world
And you can be the hero too and save yourself

It ain't easy living in this world
And most heroes don't usually get the girl
We just give and give and they take and take
We just get bloodied bruised and beaten till we break
I've been fighting this depression and anxiety since I was like nine
And half the time I fake a smile and say I'm fine
But when in fact deep down I'm lost and drowning
Couldn't afford the cost and they look at me frowning
But I've been carrying this burden all alone for too long
And if you've been there too than this is your song
Why does everything feel so fucking wrong
Just trying to ease my stress with heroics and a bong
But now I'm fucking screaming out for somebody to help me
Ope no ones coming guess I gotta be that entity
Gotta get my own back and start swimming against the waves
Gotta dig my way up out the fucking ground and out of this grave

I'm used to being the hero
But now I need a hero to come save me
Guess ill climb my own way up slow
Out of my fucking anxiety
I need to be my own hero
Cus ain't no hero gonna save me
I wear this mask for a fucking show
To kill my depression cus i'm crazy
