Watch me as I self destruct

Under the weight of everything I wanted

Watch me as I self destruct

I gained the world, but it was not enough

Our idols are why we're broken

Please show us that hope is

A hopeless ambition

So we turned away

From the gods we'd made

And we made to break

So only truth remains

All our heroes will fail us

Everyone will fall

All our heroes will fail us

We'll forget them all

All our heroes will fail us

Everyone will fall

All our heroes will fail us

We'll forget them all

Like a crown on a dead man

All our praises are wasted on fame

Like a crown on a dead man

Every king takes his throne for granted

The one who flies the highest

Is doomed to fall the hardest

The one who flies the highest

Is doomed to fall the hardest

Our idols are why we're broken

Please show us that hope is

A hopeless ambition

So we turned away

From the gods we'd made

And we made to break

So only truth remains

All our heroes will fail us

Everyone will fall

All our heroes will fail us

We'll forget them all

All our heroes will fail us

Everyone will fall

All our heroes will fail us

We'll forget them all

Watch me as I self destruct

Under the weight of everything I wanted

Watch me as I self destruct

I gained the world, but it was not enough
