HEROES WITH WINGS
(Music: "3 a.m.", Matchbox 20)

Jun says it's a Bird Scramble and she hands me my wristband
I know she's worried about things like this
Joe says if this is the end then we might as well die fighting
And Ryu's asleep in the Phoenix
And Jinpei's up to his usual tricks

Heroes with wings
The Science Ninja must be fearless
But when we're out here
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
But we're all gonna be okay, I believe it

We've got a little bit of something, God it's better than nothing
And in our private lives you may think we've got it all
But I swear sometimes it don't mean as much as it used to
And I only sleep when it's raining
And I dream and I wake up screaming

Heroes with wings
The Science Ninja must be fearless
But when we're out here
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
But we're all gonna be okay, I believe it

Ryu believes that life is made up of all that you're used to
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days, and days
Jun thinks that happiness is waiting for us in the future
But how long is it waiting?

Heroes with wings
The Science Ninja must be fearless
But when we're out here
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
But we're all gonna be okay, I believe it
