Hiding in the dark,
in the shadows and the alleys like a criminal
So this is what it feels like
to be wanted
I tried so hard to use my powers for good
Like I thought I should
But no one really noticed
Now I'm doing all I can to keep myself out of sight
To avoid the light
I'm finally who they're looking for
I tried to lead the weak through the valley of shadow
Tried to help them grow
But they didn't want to follow
Now I have to always keep moving
And cover my tracks
I can never relax
Everything I know is wrong
Everything I know is wrong
All the people I've tried to be
Piece by piece I've lost the real me
I tried so hard to connect to something more
Greater than I was before
But connection never lasts
Now I have to keep away from any reaching hand
'Cause I understand
I won't escape its grasp
I told myself I went into the darkness where the law couldn't reach
With a lesson only violence could teach
But I was lying to myself
Instead of stopping crime, I committed a lot
I thought I was a good guy; I found out I'm not
I used to know what makes a hero, but I guess I forgot
Everything I know is wrong
Everything I know is wrong
All the people I've tried to be
Piece by piece I've lost the real me
My thoughts are scattered
My heart is shattered
My soul is lost but I guess it doesn't matter now
Everything I know is wrong
When all is said and done
There's a way around every problem
except one
This is my last issue
