Death Of A Superpower - Acoustic Demo

It's lonely at the top, I am sure to drop
I've got my finger on the trigger, but I just. Won't. Stop
I'm tired of your zoetrope financial schemes
Just let your fiscal earning die with my broken dreams

My last five solid evenings were a bender flight
Don't you dare lecture me about what you think's wrong or right
To die as such a superpower seems obscene to me

I'm not done questioning your motives here
What did you think would get us out of this mirage, my dear
Our glory days were long ago, don't hearken back
You were in colour guard and I would watch you from the track

I've lost the spark, I never want to try again
Just change your Facebook status, say you're interested in Men
To dwell upon it all just seems obscene to me

I've spent a lot of time disappointed
I've spent a lot of time punishing myself for things I'd already done
When did I get so old? Why do I feel so cold
I need to find some piece of mind in my satellite heart

Hold me, hold me
I need just one more time inside of what was mine
Before I let it slip away
I need to be told we'll be better off alone
Before we go our separate ways

I will despise you inside of a month
I will regret you given time
But for now I need a bed, and a place to rest my head
Oh, I don't hate you all the time
Part of you will remain mine
You will always have these years of my life

I'll find someone who's meant for me
I'll rest my head upon her knee
And in the darkness she will breathe
You're mine

We'll race along the old back roads
We'll never dream of going home
I honestly won't care about the time

I'll cut with her my summerteeth
In hammocks under willow trees
Where I played with the twins when we were nine

I'll show her everything I've got
She'll learn to love what I am not
We'll build ourselves a tower and live safe inside

Oh, we were a superpower
And this is our darkest hour
But from all the darkness will come light

I'll learn to sleep when I'm alone
And come back to an empty home
Honestly, you were dear to me
But life goes on
I promise
