I'm not a hero but
there you go claiming I'm the source of your inspiration encouraging meditation out of desperation seeking refuge, but if you only knew the pain and strain that's wrecking my brain or the shit that i go through, you're better off just being you
Oh i see you evaluate me through the course of my pilgrimage but my character is a broken mirror shattered by superficial images of a righteous man so I'm not a hero
But here you go walking in the foot steps of an unguided mister afraid to speak out loud so i just whisper in spoken word,
Ashamed of the life want to equate to, how dare you say you can relate to, when your feet can't even fit my shoes
And these boots weren't made for walking but stalking in dreams of suicidal acts refusing to elude swords being thrust into my back and
while my eyes are shut wide open i see death upon people i love, unmerciful images mastering my psyche then here you come proclaiming that I'm your inspirer, pushing unprotected penetrating positivity into your cerebrum
Now you want to be like me, perpetrating poetic posture protecting a sinister smile
emotions once worn on a sleeve are now hidden beneath a cloak of perpetuating reality....
so i dare you to be like me
But how do i renounce the will of idolizing my self and you sacrilegious feel towards me when a man desires to be worshiped as gods
and how can you go on and on
praising me, not realizing whose hands are
baptizing your faith
I'm not into dramatics so open your eyes
to the path laid before you cause the
roads paved in my direction may lead to
disenchanted favor
And though my head's up high and curved
spine now straight, i continue to wonder if
my soul will cross the thrashold of those pearly
gates
Now do you see me as the same, articulating christian warrior language.... (bless you, praise Him, Amen)....
Nah you're seeing from the outside assuming these heroic gestures are from within, and like
a tattoo, your words are etched into my heart
but i say to you again and again i am not a hero
just a lost soul striving to find my own way
in.
