Am a hero
I am an actor
I'm this violent shade of blue
I am newly discovered tension
Still confused by yesterday

I am a hero
On a mission
Staking claims
Yielding none

I am an artist
With a vision
Seeing hell, his destiny

I know the simple sting of a tear
Sends the star crashing to earth

Dying in a moment of splendor
For a moment the glory and the death
Are one the same

I am an actor
So unfeeling
Then a flower
I am crushed

I am a villain
Unstable and anguished
Then an angel, you trust

The heartless echo of memory
Sends the actor whirling twirling
Falling to his knees

Dying in a moment of splendor
For a moment the glory and the death
Are one the same
I am a bubble
Almost to bursting
Swollen by unrelinquishing pride

I am the shrinking
Remains of potential
Never growing as I should
