Our heroes are only human
Flawed with broken lives
And we see only what they want us to
Through our screens and eager eyes
Voyeurism dominates
All we want is to be entertained
The pressure
Does nothing but suffocate
Our heroes live, our heroes die
And everyone is so surprised
When the life we saw was shadow
Built on a filter and some lies
We act so altruistic and pretend like we care
But the next day we move on to the latest tik tok Star
Rinse repeat, here's the code
The same old story is getting old
Todays golden child is tomorrows broken soul
Our heroes live, our heroes die
And everyone is so surprised
When the life we saw was shadow
Built on a filter and some lies
The face is all a front
That is masking all the pain
Smile for the cameras
Let it hide everything
Keep going for all your fans
Create a shell of a life
Our heroes are only human
Our heroes are built on lies
Our heroes live, our heroes die
And everyone is so surprised
When the life we saw was shadow
Built on a filter and some lies
We act so altruistic and pretend like we care
But the next day we move on to the latest tik tok Star
Rinse repeat, here's the code
The same old story is getting old
Todays golden child is tomorrows broken soul
Our heroes live, our heroes die
And everyone is so surprised
When the life we saw was shadow
Built on a filter and some lies
The vultures circle the grave
To pick the bones of the remains
Make money from the dead
Collect and sell everything
Those that were our heroes
Not remembered but appraised
And for all the good they did
There's no good left for them
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Rest in peace
Rest in power
From all of us
Our heroes live, our heroes die
And everyone is so surprised
When the life we saw was shadow
Built on a filter and some lies
We act so altruistic and pretend like we care
But the next day we move on to the latest tik tok Star
Rinse repeat, here's the code
The same old story is getting old
Todays golden child is tomorrows broken soul
Our heroes live, our heroes die
And everyone is so surprised
When the life we saw was shadow
Built on a filter and some lies
