the child hero, pt. 1 | ender
[ sometimes it takes the mind of a child ]
a battle hymn for children
[ the faint ]
teacher, bring me to heaven or leave me alone
show us a laser, take us to space, or let us go
we got violent games on pause at home
you've seen this angst take shape
don't hide those guilty eyes
you gave us guns for toys
ordinary
[ train ]
you are the one, look what you’ve done
what have you done?
this is not some kind of joke, you’re just a kid
you weren't ready for what you did, no
I think I'm trying to save the world from you
but you've been saving me, too
snakes and snakes
[ bell XI ]
I’m hearing your voice now, and here I go again
coming over like mist becoming rain
and all this serves to tell me
is maybe there's no ladders in this game at all
all this serves to tell me is maybe, only snakes
like the one in the garden that fucked it all
hero
[ darren hayes ]
I was trying to hide my opposing side
trying to reconcile my Jekyll and Hyde
ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I don't want to be your hero
(no, I am not open, parts of me are broken)
do yourself a favor, save yourself
don't pick me, find someone else
the child
[ gatsbys american dream ]
glorious light covers him tonight.
him: unaware and silent, six years old and sleeping.
the rest of us: dying and waiting for him to grow old.
old enough to save us. yeah, so save us.
sometimes it takes the mind of a child to overcome.
ask: is there something wrong with this picture?
daisy
[ brand new ]
I'm a mouth that doesn't smile.
I'm a word that no one ever wants to say.
I'm a mountain that has been moved.
I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run.
take all those things and I'll bury them fast.
and pray that they turn to seeds to roots and then grass.
and be alright, it's alright, it’ll be easier that way.
today will be better, i swear
[ stars ]
old pale memories of someone you knew
keep crawling through the back of your mind
still in time
and in the daylight you're crossing all your wires
you just never knew how to put out a fire
and the closet's been shaken with bones
today, today, keep your head and drive again
there's nothing more to battle
today, today, is gonna be a better one
rocketship
[ shiny toy guns ]
can we get away? far away, let's leave this place
will you come with me? say goodnight to gravity
the passing stars light the way, the future's here today
it's you and me tonight, leave it all behind
in my rocketship, we'll leave the light of day
