HERO IN THE MIRROR

My hero has been struggling for 10, 20, 30, or 40 years
I've heard him complaining about his life all my life
I was tired of his story
Didn't know how valuable it was till
I saw the picture of a man grabbing a sword and shield
He looked like a retired knight, he was a hero once upon a time

Now I can hear his sighs every holiday
It pushes me hard to the bloody battlefield
I faced myself in the mirror on the wall before I left home
But he looked like his hero

You gave me roots, see thе branches you gave me, it's hugе
You said that you are failure but look
Here's your masterpiece, what you want more

You gave me tools, see how I'ma use these tools
Don't worry, now I got my dude
Let's finish what we've been struggling for

Hero in the mirror
Let go of yourself

Life's so bittersweet like bourbon whiskey
You've never known how to enjoy this
Why are you being so mean to yourself
Do you really think that money can solve it
Then what if you get rich when you're dead, huh?
Are you gonna be peaceful after that

You have to know the moment
When you have to put down your sword
I know the world is cold
That's why I still hold the sword for you
Even though I've won some of your battle
You still don't know how to celebrate it

Stop thinking about the number just for now
Can you describe the towns we're driving around
Now you passed thru a lotta landscape
You don't know how to celebrate it

You gave me roots, see the branches you gave me, it's huge
You said that you are failure but look
Here's your masterpiece, what you want more

You gave me tools, see how I'ma use these tools
Don't worry, now I got my dude
Let's finish what we've been struggling for

Hero in the mirror
Let go of yourself
Hero in the mirror
Let go of yourself

After all this time, I can see your face on my face
I thought you're still young, but I missed a lot

After all this time, I can feel the fever of this body
That I've gotten from a hero in the mirror

You gave me roots, see the branches you gave me, it's huge
You said that you are failure but look
Here's your masterpiece, what you want more

You gave me tools, see how I'ma use these tools
Don't worry, now I got my dude
Let's finish what we've been struggling for
