Deception
I Hate Heroes Lyrics

So how does it feel to know
Asking how it feels to realize that you’re not in control of your own life

You're not in control of the life you lead
Stating that someone is not in control of the way their life is going

So you follow your heart is torn by weakness
Suggesting that people make decisions based on emotional weakness

Bitter resentment misery loves company
People who are unhappy tend to drag others down with them

Bringing cowards to their knees
Saying that cowards are brought down by their own fears and insecurities

Faith in my mind or heart, in the throws of disarray
Talking about a struggle to maintain faith and positivity during difficult times

Faith in my mind or heart
Reiterating the importance of faith in the face of adversity

But you're wrong you're wrong about me
Disagreeing with someone’s negative perception of oneself

And I don't need this hollow shell to breathe
Rejecting any false sense of identity or worth

But you're nothing without me
Implying that the artist is more important and necessary than the person they're addressing

No spark no life no destiny
Belittling someone as having no potential or direction

And this jealousy I breed is catching up to me
Admitting to feeling jealous despite also feeling superior

And I'm terrified that it lives and breathes
Acknowledging a fear of one’s own jealousy and envy

But it's just the tragedy I need
Accepting that one needs drama and conflict in their life

It takes a sick man to be prideful of his sins
Critiquing people who take pride in negative behavior

But you know there's no escape
Asserting that there are consequences to wrongdoing

When you're collapsing from within
Describing the internal turmoil caused by poor choices

Need I remind you there's a poison inside you too
Pointing out that everyone has their own flaws to deal with

Consuming til nothing is left, resistance is useless
Describing how negative behavior can take over and become all-consuming

I have come face to face with my demons, and I beat them
Claiming to have overcome personal struggles and difficulties

You just love the way it tastes
Suggesting that some people enjoy the harm they cause to themselves or others

Watching another go to waste, like you
Observing someone else’s self-destruction as parallel to one’s own

One careful deception paints a vivid reflection
Acknowledging that small white lies can have significant impact

Until I break I would give anything
Promising to do whatever it takes to achieve a goal

We walk on lines drawn in the sand
Describing life as fragile and unpredictable

The frailty on which we stand
Repeating the idea that life and existence are precarious
