Heros and Heroin
Heros and ..... heroin
What do u do
If the person u look up to
Is a crumpled mess on the floor
What do u do
If the person u look up to
Doesn't do anything worth looking up to them for
They say "my dads my hero" or "my mums the hero for me"
Well.. my dad threw my mum against the tv
But she stood back up, so she's a hero too
But also a heroin, I guess u are what u do
Heroin to get her high and crack to bring her back
Back to just the same old crap
That's she's desperate to escape so she smokes again
And again and again and again and again
So my hero has descended right down to the gutter
But I know deep down that's just isn't her
So my hero is being heroin for now
But without a cape just a wrap of brown
I do have faith once more she will rise
And be that hero again in my eyes
