Heroes Video (MV)

They've been telling you lies most of your life
Well not so much lies, but not the whole enchilada
I guess it was too hard at the time
Because the truth is - it's complicated

There's a darkness that will come and will go
We kept it from you but now it's yours to hold
And I guess it's part of our souls
It protects us, but sometimes it makes us terrible

Light becomes shadow, your hero behind bars
We tell ourselves that we are what we are
On every channel the game was fixed
We tell ourselves that it is what it is

But it doesn't have to be, or does it?
Cause it hasn't always been, or was it?
But those kids who just arrived
They flipped the script on the screen
And suddenly the way it's always been
It doesn't have to be

There's a chill in the air, it hurts my bones
As I get older, I'm searching for comfort
When the Winter winds they burn and blow
And the darkness it seems to find me again

Might not be what you want know
Kept it from you but now it's yours to hold
The stories of our souls hitting the floor
Touching the bottom and coming back
Up for more

We don't change, we don't change, we don't change
We were born inside the engine of this runaway train
But sometimes in your smile I get a glimpse of the dream
And suddenly the way it's always been
It doesn't have to be
