I am a hero
I am an actor
I'm this violent shade of blue
I am newly discovered tension
Still confused by yesterday
I am a hero
On a mission
Staking claims
Yielding none
I am an artist
With a vision
Seeing hell, his destiny
I know the simple sting of a tear
Sends the star crashing to earth
Dying in a moment of splendor
For a moment the glory and the death
Are one the same
I am an actor
So unfeeling
Then a flower
I am crushed
I am a villain
Unstable and anguished
Then an angel, you trust
The heartless echo of memory
Sends the actor whirling twirling
Falling to his knees
Dying in a moment of splendor
For a moment the glory and the death
Are one the same
I am a bubble
Almost to bursting
Swollen by unrelinquishing pride
I am the shrinking
Remains of potential
Never growing as I should
