i think i need a new heart

"…cause i always say i love you when i mean turn out the light

and i say let's run away when i just mean stay the night

i'll never say happy anniversary…

so i think i need a new heart…"

heroes

"i, i will be king

and you, you will be queen

we could steal time,

just for one day

we can be heroes, for ever and ever

what d'you say?"

with my demons

it's become the crux of me

i wish that i could rise above it

but i stay down

with my demons…"
