Hero & Hell

I travelled a road,
And came to a crossing,
One way pointed right,
And one way wrong,
Which path to take,
Was a coin for the tossing,
But I couldn’t turn back,
Where I’d come
I ran from my feelings,
Abandoned my love,
I’d no courage left,
No respect,
Mile after mile,
The road wouldn’t end,
Til' I finally caught up,
To myself
When your heart is broken,
Blame is a sad game,
Your smile is a token,
You can’t say her name,
And the pain is so fierce,
In the space between,
Hero and hell,
Between hero and hell
No one was ever,
To touch my soul,
My passion locked up,
Behind walls of steel
How she climbed over,
I’ll never know
Confused by the happiness,
I wanted to kill
The moment of truth,
Looked me dead in the eye,
My capable living,
Exposed,
Can I be with a lover,
And not wanna lie,
Or am I too damaged,
To let her get close
When your heart is broken,
Blame is a sad game,
Your smile is a token,
You can’t say her name,
And the pain burns like fire,
In the space between hero and hell,
Between hero and hell
(Bridge)
Trapped between fear and rage,
I learned at an early age,
Love is the curl of a blinding fist,
A knife that slips in and twists,
When your heart is broken,
And blame is a sad game,
And your smile is a token,
You can’t say her name,
And the pain cuts so deep,
In the space between hero and hell
Between hero and hell
Between hero and hell
