Eden Falling - My Heroes Lyrics

1 a.m. and I'm writing songs
On my basement floor
And I don't know
Why I bother anymore

'Cause at 3 p.m.
I stood in this employment line
With a debt and a degree
And way too much
F*cking time

'Cause I got all these words
And I got all these songs
And I can't even find a job
To give me something to drink about

'Cause all my heroes are dead
All my heroes are on TV
Saying well it's not
How it used to be
What are you doing kid?
Did you ever think
You could be like me or yesterday?

And I'm standing in this line
Thinking of doing another line
Now I've got enough time
To count my anti-depressants
I've got my debt
I've got my degree
And I've got too many words
To ever sleep

'Cause all my heroes are dead
All my heroes are on TV
Saying well it's not
How it used to be
What are you doing kid?
Did you ever think
You could be like me or yesterday?

Well I borrowed my parents' cable
So I can see
All my heroes try and burn
The world down around me
All the punks who forgot how to sing
And we gave up on our childish dream
Of being rock stars
Or saying anything different anyway

Oh I think I'll do another line
I think I'm just wasting time
I think I'll oversleep today

'Cause all my heroes are dead
All my heroes are on TV
Saying wait that's not
How you're supposed to be
'Cause you got your debt and you got your degree
And you got all your anxiety

I don't care anymore
What they say about me
Or if my heroes try to burn the last tree
'Cause I burned all the banks
And I kept my degree
And I stole every word
That was ever sung to me
And I'm standing in this line
Thinking of doing another line
I'm hoping
I'm hoping that you will see
I never wanted these heroes
For you
Or for me
