Bravo! The hero saunters down the busy street
Confident in righteousness, upbeat
Defending the peers of the realm
The monster vanquished, good upheld
His bearing noble, the colors bright
He presents the crowd with quite a sight
Smug smile, upturned nose
Bright eyes, cheeks apple and rose
Cape confidently breezing
But people shove past, unseeing

What is it that keeps us falling
when we know it hurts?
Our bodies are broken and wounded
but our cries seem only to echo
in the empty void we fall into

Pouring songs into rivers
drifting fires over ice
our hearts are
crumbling houses
do tears suffice?

Just because I feel OK today
who can say I'll feel this way
tomorrow
'Cause everything is moving
like shifting sand beneath my feet
