Heroes Don't Exsist

by Shelby G.   Jul 31, 2005


So can you tell me, Show me how it goes?
Describe how it feels, or do you know?
Do you know if it's hard to take, hard to grasp?
Do you wonder if the pain stops or will simply pass?
Do you wonder how it feels to watch your hero fall?
Do you have the slightest clue at all?

The longest time had passed of friendship
I never thought anything could end it
I never even wondered if it would stop
But then I felt like I'd been shot
Everything started slipping away
It left me speechless, I had nothing to say
I never imagined how it would end
I never thought my veiws would bend

The grips of friendship slipped away
I felt like darkness flooded the light of day
Internal bleeding persisted inside
I simply felt as if I had died
Maybe that'd be best, If I'd just died instead
Maybe it would be best to take a bullet to the head

I never thought It'd happen to me
I never thought that this could be
When when your hero fails to save
Maybe death is all you crave
So many times I wanted to thank him
Until finaly my faith was too thin

When heroes fall, and begin to fail you
Are you supposed to stumble, too?
Failure, failure, no success
Failing, failing, can't progress
Slipping, slipping, can't stand up
Insults, insults, JUST SHUT UP!!

When the faith is dead, there's nothing left
When everyone loses, there is no best
When a hero falls, their fans all die
But when a hero turns their back, souls mourn and cry

Ignore me, ignore me, I don't look up to you
Liar, liar, your truths are no longer true
stumble, stumble, just like me
look up above you and then you'll see
Your as low as you can go
But then again, maybe you'll never know

You'll never know the pain you brought
You were a hero, or so I thought
I don't believe you anymore
Falling, falling, hit the floor

You meant the world, but fell to nothing
The pain, so strong, can't keep from showing
All I have are the memories that I question and doubt
I have no one to hear me when I cry out
You can lose what you can gain
And turn your prizes into pain

Once upon a time, I didn't think a hero could die
Boy was I wrong
I didn't think a hero could make their fans cry
Boy was I wrong
I didn't think a hero would bow to there knees
I was so wrong
My hero filled himself with disease
My hero wasn't a hero after all
I watched my hero fall, fall, fall
I didn't think heros died
I was dead wrong.....

Thank you for absolutely nothing, Josh. I would have been their to catch you when you fell, But hell is where you belong. For so long I thought you were worth living for, turns out putting faith in you was a waste of belief. Trust can only go so far, If you ever stand up again you'll have all your friends to go back to, everyone except me. I don't plan to ever look at your face again. You tore my world apart. But I guess drugs are more important than friends, right?

    Wow... Great job, but there's a LOT of feeling put into this one -- and not exactly a good feeling. The rhyming was really natural and the flow/rhythm were so close to perfect it's scary. Great title, too!
