about

I do not pretend to understand racism as much as someone who was born and bred in the United States, however I've had the privilege to talk to many people about the topic since moving to Washington DC.
This song, specifically, was inspired by a conversation I had at Epic Tattoo Parlor in Montrose, Colorado.

lyrics

If I could wipe away the pain, I would
If I could throw it all away, I would
I'd be the voice of sunlight on a midnight train
I'd bend over backwards to push away the pain

Inside the madness, we fight
Inside the madness, we rise

When the angels open their eyes
How their hearts break to realize
All of the mistakes we've made, at what price?
Wheres our superhero tonight?

If I could free you from this burden, I would
If I could make you feel deserving of everything good
I'd be the voice of passion in a world so cold
Id bend over backwards to change this mold

Inside the madness, we fight
Inside the madness, we rise

When the angels open their eyes
How their hearts break to realize
All of the mistakes we've made, at what price?
Wheres our superhero tonight?

If I could free you from this pain
I would hold on so tightly
If I could be your superhero

When the angels open their eyes
How their hearts break to realize
All of the mistakes we've made, at what price?
Wheres our superhero tonight?
