Alec BenjaminDeath of a Hero

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've 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 trainwreck
the things he 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
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
