Beautiful Losers

(album: Vaxis II: A Window Of The Waking Mind - 2022)

Your weight on my shoulders
At the top I break down, I call out
Young lovers, please help me
They see with no sound when I shout
But I'm here to attest
With no hope that somehow
Where there's a will, there's a way out

Hey, Kid
There's no shame
Or reason to doubt
For crying out loud
Run like they're out for your blood
When life feels like zero
Beautiful Losers, you're my hero
Never thought I'd be a hero

Am I better off left
A half-empty glass and a thirst unquenched?
Stand up and defend
All you are and all you weren't
In my empty eyes can I find the 'me'?
The more I lie, I find the truth I seek

Hey, Kid
There's no shame
Or reason to doubt
For crying out loud
Run like they're out for first blood
When you're left with zero
Beautiful Losers, you're my hero

Never thought, never thought
Never thought I'd be a hero
The wrong side of courage
In a toy box of phobias
Hook, line and sinker
Time will bind, time will undo

Hey, Kid
There's no shame
No reason to doubt
For crying out loud
Run like the dead have risen
When you're left with zero
Beautiful Losers, you're my hero
Hey!
You'll always be my hero
Beautiful Losers
