Leper (no room for heroes)

Vestigial Remorse

Track 17 from “Someone Else’s Hell”

Lyrics:
So I’m not wanted anymore
is it really that much of a change

just a leper
death omen
tainted, pervaded, profane

leper
disfigured
ugly
losing chunks
of me
stop acting
like you really care
your yellow ribbon assurances
trite cliche statements -
everything you said was just a lie

“just tell us…just tell us if you need anything”
a steady life would be nice, kurwa.

So I’m not needed anymore
was it really a big surprise
when the lights go dim
and I’m locked out of the building - again
did I really expect it to end a different way

I’m not wanted anymore
as you close the book and blank my name
the things i’ve loved and bled for
have always grown to hate me
in the end there isn’t much else to say
actions speak louder than words
and I’ve heard every thing you never said,
clearly.

I’m a leper.

the blood runs through my veins
temperament of a martyr
I’m supposed to be your hero
but there’s no room for that anymore

Just tell us, just tell us if you need anything…

break me down and throw me out
(there’s no room for heroes anymore)
chew me up and spit me out
(there’s no room for heroes anymore)
wonder why i ever bothered
(there’s no room for heroes anymore)
why i chose to stay here tethered
(there’s no room for heroes anymore)

There’s no Room for Lepers anymore
There’s no room for heroes anymore
