You Are Not A Hero

And you think you have this all figured out
As her loyal trust will tell you so
So you ask her to de-robe what she wears
But we know it's not for romance
I am sick and tired of this taking over, taking over
I am sick and tired of this taking over, taking over
You are not a hero, you are not a hero, you are not a hero not now
You are not a hero, you are not a hero, you are not a hero not now
And you think you have this all figured out
Now you have her pictures in your palms
She won't be able to leave your side
With this blackmail make her stay around
But you see it doesn't work this way
When she finds out what is going on
She has the right to derail what she'll built
And she'll fuck your immoral code
I am sick and tired of this taking over, taking over
I am sick and tired of this taking over, taking over
You are not a hero, you are not a hero, you are not a hero not now
You are not a hero, you are not a hero, you are not a hero not now

I see this going down all around
Once again objectified and put down
Running out of hands to help you up
Once again intensified and knocked down now
I see getting deeper every day
once again your terrified to be saved
I know it seems hard to accept this help
Once again to verify your not frail
Pursue the path that bleeds
Cause nothing comes for free
Fuel the fight that's right
Cause this is what we're made of, this is what we're made of now...
I see this getting harder every day
People don't dignify themselves anyway
I know you are more than your skin
We shouldn't need to justify anything
Pursue the path that bleeds
Cause nothing comes for free
Fuel the fight that's right
Cause this is what we're made of, this is what we're made of now...
Can we accept what we've been told
Isn't exactly honestly true
Can we start to treat them the same
And begin to evolve everything
Pursue the path that bleeds
Cause nothing comes for free
Fuel the fight that's right
Cause this is what we're made of, this is what we're made of now...

Once again they walk right by
Pretending there no lies
Leave the angles broken side
Hide us from unspeakable lies
I see the sinner on the street
As the mass in numbers still increase
I hear the inner screams
As the mass suffer indiscreet
Can you hear the silence from the screams
In this game of life where you can't be seen
Can you see the forest from the trees
In this game of life where you can't
Once again we ignore the fear
As the angels disappear
Divide and create this space
And take away another face
I see the sinner on the street
As the mass in numbers still increase
I hear the inner screams
As the mass suffer indiscreet
Can you hear the silence from the screams
In this game of life where you can't be seen
Can you see the forest from the trees
In this game of life where you can't
They have lost the speech from where they stand
Long for conversations to assent
Brave the silence to live another day
Grasp tight on what was yesterday
Can you hear the silence from the screams
In this game of life where you can't be seen
Can you see the forest from the trees
In this game of life where you can't
