Take off your mask, that's a part of your past,
You know you've let go of what you believe in,
You were once a hero, a class above zero,
You saved those in need while you made their tormentors bleed
On the ground, on the ground, you were righteous
But renowned as the vicious, malevolent hero-in-disguise.

People said you came from wherever you felt was right
In the end, you had no home, you just rode with the wind
And whenever it shifted you went from place to place
Like a hipster, a grifter, you knew what to do, where to go
Who to please, you never gave in to any vices or needs
That weren't your own, you were always alone
But you called those pure hearts that you saved your true angel's home.

You always got there just in the nick of time,
You saved pretty girls from thieves known for petty crime,
You shoved out the way anyone who misplayed you
Or didn't display to you that we were afraid of you,
You saved little boys being chased down the street
By bullies much older with much larger feet,
But you squashed them beneath you, no one could defeat you
Your arrogance grew (and grew), some people loved you
(Most people chose to run from you).

People said you came from wherever you felt was right
In the end, you had no home, you just rode with the wind
And whenever it shifted you went from place to place
Like a hipster, a grifter, you knew what to do, where to go
Who to please, you never gave in to any vices or needs
That weren't your own, you were always alone
But you called those pure hearts that you saved your true angel's home.

Now save me from falling, oh wait that's not your calling?
Now is it, don't visit me, I don't desire you,
You only do what suits you best for your image,
You won't save a liar, you won't save a sinner,
But isn't that what we all are in the end (you should know)
Why would we leave your own brother to freeze in the cold
When you know what you know what you know
Who you were, who you were, you are nothing at all
Not a hero, no way, you were always the one
Who betrayed and forayed your family's most sacred gift of all.

People said you came from wherever you felt was right
In the end, you had no home, you just rode with the wind
And whenever it shifted you went from place to place
Like a hipster, a grifter, you knew what to do, where to go
Who to please, you never gave in to any vices or needs
That weren't your own, you were always alone
But you called those pure hearts that you saved your true angel's home.

People said you came from wherever you felt was right
In the end, you had no home, you just rode with the wind
And whenever it shifted you went from place to place
Like a hipster, a grifter, you knew what to do, where to go
Who to please, you never gave in to any vices or needs
That weren't your own, you were always alone
But you called those pure hearts that you saved your true angel's home,
Too bad you don't know a pure heart from your own heart
Of stone.
