Death Of A Hero

Death of a Hero - Alec Benjamin

I was in Pittsburgh when I saw a Superman in the backroom

He was doing lines or something in the bathroom

I barely recognized him at all

I saw him doing things you shouldn't do with all that power

I wish someone would've thrown him in the shower

I barely recognized him at all

That night I put my youth in a casket

And buried in inside of me

That night I saw through all that magic

Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero

I burned all the pictures in the attic

And threw away the magazines

That night I saw through all that magic

And now I'm a witness to the death of a hero

I tried to look away but you can't look away from a trainwreck

The things you said to girls well they were shameless

I barely recognized him at all

I tried to help but he said he was just too far from saving

And nothing I could say was gonna change him

I barely recognized him at all

That night I put my youth in a casket

And buried in inside of me

That night I saw through all that magic

Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero

I burned all the pictures in the attic

And threw away the magazines

That night I saw through all that magic

And now I'm a witness to the death of a hero

The death of a hero he couldn't be saved

Now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave

I'll cover his grave

The death of a hero I'm turning the page

Now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave

I'll cover his grave

That night I put my youth in a casket

And buried in inside of me

That night I saw through all that magic

Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero

I burned all the pictures in the attic

And threw away the magazines

That night I saw through all that magic

And now I'm a witness to the death of a hero
