Paper Hero

You see that girl,
the one who's crying?
Tell me now, is that my mother today?
You see that man,
the one who saved her?
And I'll watch him do it again and again and again.
And if he wasn't there,
what the hell would I do?
Would be alright if I came running back to you?
Hey - where is my hero?
I want to try but I'm just too afraid.
Hey - where is my hero?
Another one with the world to save.
Millions captive,
one man the trigger.
Tell me now, is that my mother in there?
That same man,
he's back to save her.
And I'll watch him do it over and over and over again.
And if he wasn't there,
what the hell would I do?
Would be alright if I came running back to you?
Hey - where is my hero?
I want to try but I'm just too afraid.
Hey - where is my hero?
Another one with the world to save.

Every breath that I take
I am farther away
But I’ll sit here and wait
For you to say something
Every life that I take
For a life that I’d save
To remember your way
To remember your face
How many times must I wake
Screaming for you
How many times must I wake
Unable to save you
I remember a time
When you would have died
For what we’d achieve
For what we believed in
And you’d sacrifice
Our love’s just a price to pay
My convictions were righteous but
I’m not sure I could say the same
How many times must I wake
Screaming for you
How many times must I wake
Unable to save you
How many times must I wake
Screaming for you
How many lives must I take
Just to repay you

Long Walk to Dayight

This empty hallway reminds me of wedding bells.
Long walk to daylight as cliche as hell.
The smell of rusty cages. The man who stands outside
talking 'bout his master who'd bring us in alive
Hold on Lover, but I don't make you stay
Even though I touch you, feel your breath on mine,
this rusted cage contains you. Do you even mind
The piss and mud behind you? The life of "On Your Knees!?"
Cater to their lashing and lies that have taken seed.
Hold on Lover, but I don't make you stay
Please take cover if you'll only look away
You answer how we've come here with borrowed thoughts in mind
but Consider my solution. Will you look outside?
Even right before you the daylight blinds your eyes
but take my hand I'll guide you, expose to you the lies.
Hold on Lover, but I don't make you stay
Please take cover if you'll only look away
Instrumental Break
Hold on Lover, but I don't make you stay
Please take cover if you'll only look away
If bars were meant to to hold me, would their embrace be warm?
If words were meant to scold me, wouldn't I be warned?
The Shackles only hate me, their temporary shell.
Yet you would choose their safety to an unfamiliar hell.

Little Circus

Before we begin you should know
You are all welcome in the darkest of shows
Join the players, performers, the stars.
As we flirt with all things bizarre
Lets begin with what you can see
A horrible you. A horrible me.
The audience smiles with cynical glee
To the ugliest sights – the falling trapeze
Flipping. Flying. The air is drying me.
If I can’t reach you I’m falling down…
In the darkest corner of our little circus
We can find you a seat if you’d like to join us
If someone smiles you’ll get out alive - Even if it takes a while
In the darkest corner of our little circus
The music is telling you all that’s in store
You answer it’s calling and sing out before
You could shout out in an awful dismay
At the clowns who would dare entertain
So the mirrors are up but the masks are in place
Yet the lions are handsome so don’t look away
Though the clowns become monsters, they’re thought to be brave
Or they’re fools of our little soiree
Is it clear? A familiar mask they wear?
Frightening grin to whom you refuse to give in…
In the darkest corner of our little circus
We can find you a seat if you’d like to join us
If someone smiles you’ll get out alive - Even if it takes a while
In the darkest corner of our little circus
As we come to the end of our torrid affair
Do you have a suggestion you’d like to share
I can tell that you won’t ‘cause you’re barely aware
That a circus like ours is beyond compare
So suspend your belief and smile for the light
Stare into the mirror. Stare into its fright
See the reflection you’ve chosen to know
And thank you for coming to our terrible show
Is it clear? A familiar mask they wear?
Frightening grin to whom you refuse to give in…
In the darkest corner of our little circus
We can find you a seat if you’d like to join us
If someone smiles you’ll get out alive - Even if it takes a while
In the darkest corner of our little circus

Despite the Blindness Edmonton, Alberta
Self-described as “…progressive…” & “…a mix of beauty and aggression…” Despite the Blindness is no doubt ambitious in what they seek. At times heavy and others soft and subtle, the band insists the music exists only to enhance the lyrics, which are filled with imagery that can be both heart wrenching and horrifying. ... more
