Super
By Michael James Mead
if I could shoot laser beams from my eyes
and a cape could make me fly
if I could walk on the sea
and be stronger than everything
If I could save the world
with one blink of my eye
I'd say fuck it all
and watch the whole world die
because superheros got it wrong
to save the world just 'cause they are strong
because the best way you can save a life
is to just sit back and let it die

and the whole world's goin to hell again
and I'm glad there's no such thing as superman
'cause one thing saved is one thing lost
'cause death is less than what life costs
and each day we wake up again
is another day that death could have been

and life is a tragedy
and we need to learn to let death be

let the sun burn the clouds
and let the rain melt the ground
let the sea raise the tides
and wash away all the life
