Heroes Are The Best Villains

from No Victories by Hello Whirled

/

about

Originally recorded for EP8.

lyrics

blue woke
in the middle
of the night

he walked
to the nearest
house

he wondered
as he picked up every stick on the ground
and sharpened them into fashionable blades
what his purpose was

he thinks

here's a house larger than mine
they still have wreathes on their windows
their garage is open
they have 80 board games

he was once a saint of sorts
to many he meant a lot
he wore blue

he put on his uniform
and rang the doorbell
heroes make the best villains

a tired father answers the door
and the man's questions
he lets the blue man in

the blue man looked around this humble abode
humble being a figure of speech
they were clearly proud of themselves
they had been to many places
they had worked for many years
their children had many trophies

look at me with deadened eyes
and tell me this is the dream
tell me there's still a dream

the blue man found nothing

he was
in that moment
hollow

as he raised his arms

there is no family
heroes are the best villains
