Coheed and Cambria
Beautiful Losers (Demo)
[Verse 1]
Your weight on my shoulders
At the top I break down, I call out
Young lovers, please help me
They see with no sound, a new crowd
But I’m here to attest
Odds against, I always say “never”
With these feelings repressed
With no hope, the know-how
Where there’s a will, there’s a way out

[Chorus]
Hey, Kid
There’s no shame
Or reason to doubt
For crying out loud
Run like they’re out for your blood
When life feels like zero
Beautiful Losers, you’re my hero

[Post-Chorus]
Never thought, never thought
Never thought I’d be a hero
Never thought, never thought
Never thought I’d be a hero
[Verse 2]
Am I better off left
A half empty glass and a thirst unquenched?
Stand up and defend
All you are and all you weren’t
In my empty eyes can I find the “me”?
The more I lie, I find the truth I seek

[Chorus]
Hey, Kid
There’s no shame
Or reason to doubt
For crying out loud
Run like they’re out for first blood
When you’re left with zero
Beautiful Losers, you’re my hero

[Post-Chorus]
Never thought, never thought
Never thought I’d be a hero
Never thought, never thought
Never thought I’d be a hero
Never thought, never thought
Never thought I’d be a hero
Never thought, never thought
Never thought I’d be a hero
[Bridge]
Wrong side of courage
In a soapbox dystopia
Hook, line and sinker
Time will bind, time will undo
All you wanted to
Hope got away from you
And left you its counterfeit
The bastards tried to break you

[Chorus]
Hey, Kid
There’s no shame
And no reason to doubt
For crying out loud
Run like the dead have risen
When you’re left with zero
Beautiful Losers, you’re my hero

[Outro]
Hey!
You’ll always be my hero
Beautiful Losers
Hey!
You’ll always be my hero
Beautiful Losers
