You have no right to say you're better than the rest
Pretending that underneath your shirt there's an S on your chest
As if I need a superhero to come save me
And believe me, I know where this is going

I've seen the Ice Man
He used to send chills down my spine
Until he froze my heart and smashed it with his bare hands
Leaving me to pick up this rigid pieces
And glue them back together
The cold still covers me on nights that are sleepless

I've seen the LavaMan
He warmed my cold, rigid soul
But one day he overheated
And left a giant steaming hole
That I can show you to this day
I'm still trying to hide it in every way

I've met IronMan
He wrapped me in precious metals to cover my bruises
When screws came undone
He made up excuses
As if his excuses could excuse my falling apart
Money can't heal a broken heart

I've felt SpiderMan
He enveloped me in his endless webs
I ended up getting lost
In the tangles of his bed
He left a mark of the smallest size
But the poison from his bite came as a surprise

I've heard the InvisibleMan
But I only felt him when he held my hand
I only knew him when I felt his touch
He didn't need me at all
Didn't even want me that much

Ive seen, heard, felt it all
So before you go on and on
About how hard I'll fall
You should know
**I don't need a ******* Hero
