Flawed Is the Hero’s View

Intro

Cracked glass in the morning, reflecting my skin

Echoes of battles still raging within

Kryptonite moments, break what I know

But each fragile line is where wildflowers grow

Verse 0

I walk through silence, my secret exposed

Lost in the corners where fear never goes

Raven's inside me, tide shifting fast

I turn every scar to strength meant to last

Iron Man’s heartbeat, so easy to steal

Pulse in my chest is an ache I can’t heal

But beauty’s not found where perfection hides

Just in the space where my shadow collides

Verse 1

Every step, a trembling wire beneath my feet

Haunted by choices I swore not to repeat

Guilt like Spider-Man’s web, it pulls and strains

But from tangled regrets, a new hope remains

Carry the weight, like Iron Man’s hidden chest

Trying too hard to outshine all the rest

But flaws spark the light, ignite what is real

Strength in surrender, the scars that I feel

Chorus

I’m not bulletproof, I bleed just like you

Fell from the clouds, but I found what’s true

In the cracks in my soul, something brave breaks through

Perfection is the mask—flawed is the hero’s view

Verse 2

Had a heart built on wire and smoke

Scarred by the truths I never spoke

Fighting shadows, trading sleep for dreams

Every fall carves the hero in me

Pre-Chorus

I wear my limits like armour in the rain

Fears and failures, written in my name

Willpower burning underneath my skin

My broken edges let the strongest light in

Chorus

I’m not bulletproof, I bleed just like you

Fell from the clouds, but I found what’s true

In the cracks in my soul, something brave breaks through

Perfection is the mask—flawed is the hero’s view

Post-Chorus

Shadows lift, I rise again

Wings of fault, heart

Post-Chorus

Shadows lift, I rise again

Wings of fault, heart

Bridge

From the poison of pride to the weight of regret

I build something golden from pieces I’ve met

Jean Grey’s flame is costly, but fire remakes ash

Daredevil in the darkness—more sense in the crash

No armor’s unbroken, no mind free of doubt

Yet the lonely become legends when pain burns out

Will forged in trial, like Green Lantern’s ring

I am beauty because I am fractured, not king

Chorus

I’m not bulletproof, I bleed just like you

Fell from the clouds, but I found what’s true

In the cracks in my soul, something brave breaks through

Perfection is the mask—flawed is the hero’s view

Outro

Let my story be written in all that I lack

Every scar, every wound—no reason to turn back

From Kryptonite moments, I’ve learned what is real

This imperfect hero knows how to heal

Outro

Let my story be written in all that I lack

Every scar, every wound—no reason to turn back

From Kryptonite moments, I’ve learned what is real

This imperfect hero knows how to heal

Extended Outro

Let the world see the struggles behind every stride

Hulk’s anger to mercy, the storm and the tide

Rogue’s longing for touch, but I still reach through pain

Even iron and shadows can dance in the rain

If I stumble tomorrow, I’ll rise anyway

Every fracture remembered in golden array

So I won’t chase perfection, I’ll live in the flaws

In my vulnerable truth, I find my applause

Final Post-Chorus

Wings of fault carry me

Light breaks free, breaking free

Strong in the seams, whole as can be

In the strength of my weakness, I’m finally me
