Every hero needs their Oracle, their person in the chair—the one who navigates the noise and clarifies the mission. A massive, skyscraper-sized shoutout to the incredible Blue Idoru! https://suno.com/@blueidoru Thank you for interfacing with the mainframe, decoding the static of these emotions, and helping shape the very structure of this track. Your collaboration was the ultimate enhancement. This operation wouldn’t have succeeded without your assist! ★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★ [Instrumental Intro with the vocalist humming along with the melody] [Verse 1] Sunrise bleeds on Atlas Park, another morning on the globe Got my picture on a coffee cup, a hero in a tragic trope The Hellions are screaming, but it sounds like static now Just another fire that I gotta put out somehow They want a savior, a symbol, a headline for the press I’m running on empty, but I always tell them yes [Pre-Chorus] And the monorail hums a lonely tune up in the grey While I’m flying through the sky, a million miles away From the faces in the windows, the people on the ground I can hear them cheering, but I can’t make out the sound [Chorus] I’m throwing punches at the sky But the ratings fall, and I don’t know why Is anyone better when the dust all settles down? Or am I just the prettiest wreck in town? I patch the cracks in every street But my own foundation feels obsolete This cape is heavy, and this city’s made of stone And I’ve never felt so heroically alone [Verse 2] Night falls on Kings Row streets, another fight to face Police sirens call again, I can't slow down my pace I try to keep the peace, but there's so much to deal This city needs me, I know, but I’m not sure what’s real They count on me to stand, but I’m running low So many jobs to do, fatigue is starting to show [Chorus 2] I’m throwing punches at the sky Watched the ratings fall and I didn’t even cry Is anyone safer when the dust all settles down? Or am I just the loneliest wreck in town? I patch the cracks in every street But my own foundation feels obsolete This cape is heavy and this city’s made of stone And I’ve never felt so heroically alone [Bridge] I’ve been chasing an "Inspiration" just to feel it fade away A thirty-second rush of "Luck" to get me through the day They built my statue out of bronze, so shiny and so tall But all I feel is the shadow when it’s about to fall These concrete wings can’t get me off the ground I’m screaming but I’ve finally forgotten how to make a sound [Chorus 3] I’m throwing punches at the sky Let the ratings fall, I finally know my why I’ll be one person better when the dust all settles down And that’s enough to fix this broken town I’ll patch the cracks inside of me And find the strength in what they’ll never see This cape is heavy, but these bones are my own And maybe that’s enough to not feel so alone
