Death Of a Hero

Alec Benjamin Alec Benjamin

I was in Pittsburgh
When I saw Superman in the backroom
He was doing lines or something
In the bathroom
I barely recognized him at all

I saw him doing
Things you shouldn't do with all that power
I wish someone would have thrown him
In the shower
I barely recognized him at all

That night, I put my youth in a casket
And buried it inside of me
That night, I saw through all the magic
Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero

I burned all the pictures in the attic
And threw away the magazines
That night, I saw through all the magic
And now, I'm a witness to the death of a hero

I tried to look away
But you can't look away from a train wreck
The things you said to girls well
They were shameless
I barely recognized him at all

I tried to help
But he said he was just too far from saving
And nothing I could say
Was gonna change him
I barely recognized him at all

That night, I put my youth in a casket
And buried it inside of me
That night, I saw through all the magic
Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero

I burned all the pictures in the attic
And threw away the magazines
That night, I saw through all the magic
And now, I'm a witness to the death of a hero

The death of a hero
He couldn't be saved now
I'm cutting the grass
And I'll cover his grave
And I'll cover his grave

The death of a hero
I'm turning the page now
I'm cutting the grass
And I'll cover his grave
I'll cover his grave

That night, I put my youth in a casket
And buried it inside of me
That night, I saw through all the magic
Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero

I burned all the pictures in the attic
And threw away the magazines
That night, I saw through all the magic
And now, I'm a witness to the death of a hero
