Unrewarded again Was the helmetless knight For a hero is nothing Without mask shining bright Or courage of steel To keep evil at bay If he's not looking right Then I'll send him away
If great sea monsters drown And dragon eyes turn to stone What fun if it's done By a shrivelled old crone Who could save thieves a bullet And few years in jail there's no sign of her In this fairytale
So where is the saviour? The galant, the wise The hero who kills With a flick of his eyes Well he's feeling tired And wanted A treat So he moved out of town To a new penthouse suite
But he's still a hero just sits around having fun He's Got all his teeth And his heads nice and dumb Or maybe the authors Just got carried away And lost sight of the message They want to convey
I have taken to riding my bike down my street helmetless, and worst of all, with my eyes closed. You would hate me for playing with your heart this carelessly, but I despise myself too much to care right now.
This sadness seeps into my skin. Every saline drop that falls from my eyes. My arms carry the weight of elbows to knees, sullen teenage blank canvas In retrospect I'm too old to be this tragic. I want what I cannot have and like a baby someday maybe I'll have a way to pacify these faults because you are the wheel spinning on this cycle and I am heading into traffic helmetless. All the while never thinking about anything but you. It's dangerous to fall in love With love.
