Hopeless Antiheroes

By SickSanityJenn

Gunna try not to worry
Like I've done before
Just forget all the misery
That left me begging on the floor
You gave me a mirror
Had me look inside
Reached right to the core
Displaying everything I hide
Then you set it on fire
We watched it all burn
Eyes over bright and tired
A new hollowness yearns
With nowhere left to go
Now here we arrive
Just hopeless antiheroes 
Waiting for the time of our lives
You've become my front line
Relentless soldier of solace
Invading space in my mind
With never ending tolerance
Always telling me I'm fine
Though I walk in circles
But then you dug so deep
Removed all my hurdles
And became a part of me
Picked me up off the floor
Shook the stars from my head
No room to be insecure
No time for playing dead
Hiding behind the fringes
Can't be who we were
Choking on the hinges
Ignoring our worth
Change isn't impossible
But change can be hard
It's tough to be responsible
And know where to start
You scoured out my insides
So I'd forget what lies behind
We'll start to build a new life
And never let it unwind
I cling to our connection
Moving oh so slow
Lost to the point of direction
Tell me if you know
Looks like the gates to hell
But could be heaven in disguise
You know me far too well
Of my ever pessimistic eyes
But wherever we do go
This is were we reside
Such hopeless antiheroes
Waiting for the time of our lives
