COUNTERPUNCH LYRICS

"Heroes & Ghosts"

I feel like a shooting star
That can do no wrong
Burning out so bright while
Dying to exonerate the world

Feel the burn of re-entry
As a glimmer of hope it
Lumbers through my dried veins
The air’s too thin to keep fueling the flames
I am but a spark
A memory held hostage in such high revere
A neurotoxin cocktail mixed with fear

And I won’t live like this
With discrepancies and sorrow
Following in the distance
While the skeletons are waiting for their call

Your heroes are our ghosts
Nothing but a film of dust
That hides the truth
As stubborn winds blow by

And it’s blocking the sunlight
And infecting the air
Just let it out

The predators are patrolling the roost
Protecting their false idols and their great ideals
Holding back their sure fire fall from grace
From a demigod down to an anti hero
The legacy’s been locked in place
A stacked deck up the sleeve just in case

And I won’t live like this
With discrepancies and sorrow
Following in the distance
While the skeletons are waiting for their call

Your heroes are our ghosts
Nothing but a film of dust
That hides the truth
As stubborn winds blow by
We all have our demons waiting in the night
Standing just beyond our sight
But time conquers all

The heroes that you speak of
Are nothing but a ghost to me
Another log on the funeral pyre
Dripping with deceit like gasoline

Time conquers all
And their time will come
The skeletons are so patient
Waiting for their call

Your heroes are our ghosts
Nothing but a film of dust
That hides the truth
As stubborn winds blow by
We all have our demons waiting in the night
Standing just beyond our sight
But time conquers all

And it’s blocking the sunlight
And infecting the air
The skeletons are so patient
Waiting for their call
