hero.

i'll be wearing white,
when i come into your thoughts.
i'll dance my way across
your subconscious,
and dare you to follow me
to the milky way.
a place where the
stars fall like rain,
rolling softly down your face,
and the look on your
face says it all.

show me your kingdom,
show me your crowns.
those trophies you won,
what closet do they
live in now?


my own feet carried me here,
and they'll take me away
from this place again.
i dare you,
set your storybooks aflame.
you are an imperfect.
you are flawed,
but perfectly so.

did i tell you?
i wanted this so bad.
at one point,
this is what i dreamed about.
i wouldn't dare waste a dream
on any of this now.
i've come too far,
and learned far too much.
i'm in love with the idea,
and tell me where to go from here.

i never felt the lag,
the sonic boom.
when you broke the barrier
in space,
or when you stepped
into my life.
i can't help but wonder
if that makes you a lion
or a lamb.
dare me to ask, please.
oh, the inconsistencies.
oh, the motives
behind the crimes.

you love me, dear.
you hate me, devil.
you haunt me, deceased.
you destruct me, darling.
life is fleeting out
from under me,
but i wouldn't dare
ask for an inch of it back.


after all is said,
and the crowd is ready
to leave this spectacle,
i dare to ask myself, once again,
how bad is this going to hurt?


we are not the same.
