No Hero

Lyrics

[Intro] I got a darkness inside and it's talkin' to me I feel it rumble and writhe like a hungry disease A face so ugly I hide, but it longs to be free Once I've brought it to light, I'll be gone underneath Swallowed, consumed, I am one with the beast You're not me, who are you? What are we? When I look at the face in the mirror I see just a shell of myself I can tell you're no hero to me [Verse] I've got something gut tattering, blood blackening My anatomy's unraveling, what's happening Genetically unfettered immortality A mask that I'll have on far beyond Halloween Just from one touch fastening, attached to me Feels like I'm galactically drug trafficking Just dabbled and got addicted, I love agony Identity gone, nothing much left of me I've become an unnatural catastrophe Infested with unfathomable fantasies Never knew there was such madness untapped in me Some venomous entity that we've become, haven't we We're ravaging our enemies compatibly Dulled faculties I've forgotten, what's empathy? As a matter of fact, lost all sense of me Doesn't matter 'cause Venom's what we are meant to be Tongue's wrapping around, stomach growling now Hungry ravenous power, but I've atrophied, how? Won't be captured and held, I will rattle the cell Far from God's grace, I already fell Blood drunk from the carnage, I think I'm gonna drown Like the Devil himself has been dragging me down But I've actually found part of Heaven in Hell We will topple your steeples and we'll shatter the bells [Bridge] Ooh, right never felt so wrong Know we've both walked paths on which we don't belong And now I have no doubt if I cast you out I'll be left with half myself [Chorus] I got a darkness inside, and it's walkin' with me I'm buckled up for the ride with a hunger to feed I don't want you to hide if you long to be free We're no hero tonight, we're the monster you need Swallowed consumed, Venom running through me I won't be, nor will you, only we Now I look at the face in the mirror and see Just how fearsome we are But you're far from a hero to me
