- Tragic Antihero
- Eliot Britton
-
Verse 1:
I have often thought about all the costs, and what it takes to be a hero
To rise destined to fall.
The fall was nothing, our tragedy formed you and made you real,
A fate you cannot escape.
Chorus:
You’re a tragic anti-hero,
The best thing we can do is watch and wait for you to fall
Tragic anti-hero, Not much longer for you
When you finally fall, your trouble’s just beginning.
Verse 2:
I see you now, all crushed and broken, lying bleeding on the ground
And I think, "What have I done?"
You keep fighting for a world that fears & hates you;
you get knocked down & right back up again.
And I wonder how come.
Chorus
Bridge:
What are you fighting for, if you don’t know who you are?
Open your eyes and see, that you weren’t meant to die for me.
Verse 3:
I have thought, heroes gained and lost, would know to be or not be seen,
Before our final dawn.
Why does your lack of light, burn so bright, keep reaching for the end of the 7th seal
It must be because:
Chorus 2:
You’re a tragic anti-hero,
There is no one left to use you, or to hate you for your flaws,
Tragic anti-hero, Your world’s gone now, you know
You can never fall.
