I am the hero they talk about in legends

I am the beloved always cheered by the crowd.

I am the silent spectator when your world ends 

Because I am one who sticks to what I vowed.

You tell stories of how I always do what's right 

And how I keep the evil at bay,

But I only fight for the day 'till the fall of the night 

And the real me makes you all run away.


Three-four brushstrokes and a lot of tears

Were all it it took for my creation

But infinite possibilities and a lot more tears

Remain not enough for completion

I know to enjoy the moment, and yet here I remain

Trying to trap this short-lived happiness in a frame

The chase for a lie continues 

Better to dream than to accept the pain

If my friends are truly everything I need

Then why am I running away from them ?


Emotions are overrated,

I feel the need to derail.

Convulsed mind lost its chains

I'm following a brand new trail

Endless blooming creation

I'll end it all

They thought I was all bark no bite

I'm quiet and maul

Those dear memories and friends I have

I'll end it all

Oh yes I really feel like

I'll end it all


There are two voices inside me

One of paint and smiles, one of pain who lies

A consciousness burden I don't want to carry

But it's the price to never have to make my goodbyes

I want to keep being the beloved hero

I want to fucking drop it and reduce everything to zero 

Two voices in my head, only enough sense to have one sustain

...Wait.




Which one am I again ?
