Wierd Verse-Wierdest Ever !!!!!Written for a friend who feels just the same. We even put it to music and it sounds great. Maybe I should change the title...this isn't that wierd !!!
Disgust for the world
Contempt for the new
Yearning to go back to Eden-a mirage in disguise
looking at the yellowing leaves and the smog filled skies
wishing to wield the power
to destroy and then not justify
Do I have to change the world overnight
am I the Superman who still survives
A nostalgia that refuses to breathe its last
Would love to be a chameleon, but just that I can't
Strung betwixt the heaven and the hell
Not loving where I am
Can't reach where I ain't
Understanding is out of stock
Only compromises sell
Do I have to change the world overnight
am I the superman who still survives
I could give up, give in, and sit down
instead of changing the world
I could just turn it around
cull out my part of the world from the rubble
and just live with it, strong yet subtle
yet, I wish to show the mirror to the world
maybe I am the maverick who would be burnt to cinders
but then, superheroes are born to die
maybe my legend would still survive
Do I have to change the world overnight
am I the superman who still survives
