we were heroes once
donned with our capes
life celebrated
until the downfall came
now we beg –
for the sun to warm us
the air to lift us
the sky to cheer us
but it never came
we’ve won battles,
lost wars;
bruised and bleeding
but we’ve lost so much more –
our innocence,
our smile,
our will;
we’ve lost them all
they’ll be back
but i don’t want them
the pieces won’t fit anymore –
we’re gone.
