Rotten Hero

Why have for forsaken me, tell me if you hate me

Say the things I'm use to, give me a false meaning

Tell me I'm original, make me feel invincible

Show me where to find me hidden dreams

Tell me how to remove the seams, release me from this nightmare

Drag me out of this hole I'm sinking into

I can't escape alone, I need to,

Find a savior, a hero

Show me where you're hiding, where's the hand you promised me

My mind is drifting while the sand is shifting 

Dragging me down into the ground

6 feet below, where the lifelessness starts to grow

Rotting decay, you left me astray

Never had i ever drempt you'd be the one to betray me

You were my hero, my savior, 

And now I'm lost under a six foot layer

Of my rotten, forgotten, hopeless carcass

Tell me why you forsaken me, answer me while I rot in the hole you helped me bury

Forgive me for not saying goodbye

I couldn't bare to see my hero cry, even if it was all a lie
