Deluded Hero

(Verse 1) Fist pumping high, neon lights explode Shouting my name, a stadium I own (Yeah!) Adrenaline rush, a conquering soul But the roar of the crowd, it can't fill this hole (Chorus) 'Cause I'm the hero, that's what they all say Saving the day in every single way But the battles I fight, they're all in my head A crown made of smoke, a victory misled (Verse 2) Guitars scream loud, drowning out the doubt But the echo whispers, "There's no way out" (No way out!) Wearing this mask, a champion's grin But the cracks are showing, letting darkness in (Chorus) 'Cause I'm the hero, that's what they all say Saving the day in every single way But the battles I fight, they're all in my head A crown made of smoke, a victory misled (Bridge) The spotlight fades, the music starts to dim The empty arena, a reflection within Who am I fighting for? What's the real fight? Maybe the hero's journey starts with facing the light (Guitar Solo) (Chorus) I'm the hero, that's what I gotta claim Taking back my power, re-writing the game The battles I face, they're starting to show No more smoke and mirrors, time for the truth to flow (Outro) This broken crown, I'll cast it aside The real hero's rising, with nowhere to hide Stripping the mask, the world may not see But the fight for myself, sets my spirit free
