Heroes cry (why?) Lyrics by Drae

Echoes & Bandaids

[Intro]
Nightmares used to be about monsters
Now they’re all about faults and my blunders
At the end of the road there’s a platter
But I still got the world on my shoulders
Wait, is it malloy?
[Hook]
Bury feelings in a coffin in the Styx
Stick to kicking pebbles, catapulting rocks and throwing sticks
Cause they might just hurt me, but the words I use will never miss
My heart might be broken but it’s precious, keep it in a Pyx
Heroes cry, and I used to wonder why
I don’t have a cape but I feel tears that’s welling in my eyes
A demise, in disguise
I see things, not fantasize
All the lyrics that I write, it may just be a compromise
[Chorus]
Yeah (yeah, yeah)
Working hard all year (year, year)
Crying out right here (here, here)
Driving fast, I veer (veer, veer)
And it’s May but it’s cold (cold, cold)
I’m seeing things like, whoa (whoa, whoa)
Lil baby, uh like whoa (whoa, whoa)
And I got my coat (coat, coat)
It doesn’t help the-
[Verse]
Nightmares used to be about monsters
Now they’re all about faults and my blunders
At the end of the road there’s a platter
But I still got the world on my shoulders
Like a Boulder
It’s still getting colder
We’re not getting younger
My journey like Gulder
Weapon in my holster
Use it to get over
Out of range like rovers
Heating up like saunas
I need Clovers, wisdom like Yoda
And I wonder, over there like yonder
Thinking, I ponder
“Is this real like Wanda?”
“Or my powers like Wanda?”
I really need a Wanda
[Chorus]
Yeah (yeah, yeah)
Working hard all year (year, year)
Crying out right here (here, here)
Driving fast, I veer (veer, veer)
And it’s May but it’s cold (cold, cold)
I’m seeing things like, whoa (whoa, whoa)
Lil baby, uh like whoa (whoa, whoa)
And I got my coat (coat, coat)
It doesn’t help the snow (snow)
[Bridge]
Nightmares used to be about monsters
Now they’re all about faults and my blunders
At the end of the road there’s a platter
But I still got the world on my shoulders
[Hook]
Bury feelings in a coffin in the Styx
Stick to kicking pebbles, catapulting rocks and throwing sticks
Cause they might just hurt me, but the words I use will never miss
My heart might be broken but it’s precious, keep it in a Pyx
Heroes cry, and I used to wonder why
I don’t have a cape but I feel tears that’s welling in my eyes
A demise in disguise
I see things, not fantasize
All the lyrics that I write, it may just be a compromise
[Outro]
Yeah
Working hard all ye-
