James Deacon - HERO aka Rich Lyrics

The sky is full of smoke
Choking back the tears
The demon you awoke has spoken to your fears
Air has lost its hope
A broken stack of chairs
Fibres of a rope that drag you up the stairs

Sitting on your hands ‘cause there’s nothing else to do
I get by with thoughts of a time when this was new
Ears pressed to the speakers, we’re waiting on the news
You're dreading my success just wishing it was you, yeah

You used to be my hero
Standing at my side
You take away my fear, oh
Now I’m stripped of all my pride

Now it's like a war (Now it's like a war)
The troops are on the ground (Troops are on the ground)
Fires in the sky (Fires in the sky)
Bodies lying all around

Office full of voices, you can take your pick
Tied yourself together I can see it makes you sick
Taking all your options and beat them till they bled
Your anger is your downfall, she's lying in your bed

Running outta help, running outta steam
Got to get away but it’s like you're in a dream
Punching under water, ocean fills your scream
Always held me back, took time for me to see

You used to be my hero
Standing at my side (Standing at my side)
You take away my fear, oh (Take away my fear, oh)
Now I’m stripped of all my pride (Stripped of all my pride)

Now it's like a war (Now it's like a war)
The troops are on the ground (Troops are on the ground)
Fires in the sky (Fires in the sky)
Bodies lying all around
