lyrics

I've spat on ever scene, and torn my flannel sheets.
I've messed round with the bad guys and run from the police,
I used to make her happy but now she doesn't speak,
It's funny how an angel can sever his own wings.

I'm just a mourning hero,
A backpack filled with sand,
With memories of an era that never happened.
A vulture now a victim,
A boy once a man,
Lost outside a wasteland,
And left alone in my own hands.

My drink is filled with poison, I think I'll have a few,
And maybe then I'll have something to talk about with you,
And who could better test me than the ones who turned me blue?
Have I run out of time to begin and start anew?

I'm just a mourning hero,
A showman with no cane,
With memories of an era so filled with passion,
A gun without a holster,
Shadowfax's horse.
An apple flavored lip balm,
Weeping over what I've lost.

I think I've learn my lesson from people more than cruel,
With the tattoos and the cigarettes to demonstrate my youth,
It's lawful but unreasoned, and maybe that's my truth,
I'll spend my autumn wasted,
Strangled in abuse.

I'm just a mourning hero...
