David Tindell - Masked Superman Lyrics

All these years, and you don't even know my name
I'm just a face, a silhouette in your game
You make believe that I'm your superhero
But when I fall, suddenly I'm a zero

Put me on a pedestal, make me wear a cape
But deep inside all I feel is my heartbreak
I'm tired of playing this part, this masquerade
I wanna be real, but I'm stuck in your charade

I'm your mask, your superman, this masquerade
I wanna be real, but I'm stuck in your charade
I'm your mask, your superman, standing tall
I'm your mask, your superman, less thee fall
I'm worthless to you, when I'm not standing tall

Behind this mask, there's a person you don't know
Longing to break free, to let the real me show
But you're blinded by the image of the facade I wear
Ignoring the cries of the soul laid bare

Maybe someday when I'm gone and dead
You'll take a moment, try to clear your head
And realize the truth behind the mask I wore

The superhero you wanted was so much more
I'm your masked superman, so much more
I'm worthless to you when I'm not standing tall
So here I am, a silhouette in your game

But maybe in death you'll finally learn my name
