No capes never trusted a uniform
A snowflake’s chance in hell is all we need
to mutate evolve transform
Today into something these people have never seen

And I feel like flying
feel like burning this city to the ground
I feel it inside me, feel it rippin’ through
Feel invisible in the middle of a crowd
It feels so loud: vibrations on my skin
bounce, I’m a dragon I’m a king
I’m the storyteller now, paint a picture of desire
and 21 neurons fire, pow
I can’t tell you what it is
But I can tell you what if feels like
I can’t say I understand it
But I can tell you what it feels like
And nah the math doesn’t add up
But neither does the history and gifted means
we never paid attention to physics anyway
Skip ‘em all, just walked through the walls, y’all.
Let’s be our own professors (and)
Let’s profess something better (and)
Let’s redefine power (and)
Let’s lose track of the hours; yeah we’re so gifted,
just wanna unwrap though; so let’s sneak into the danger room
And make out ‘til the theme song fades out
Gifted youngsters ‘til we age out
Right: no capes, never trusted a uniform
Rotate on the crust of the universe and
Looking down through the cracks never thought I’d ever
see anybody lookin’ back
And that’s our power even if it isn’t that super, so what:
we ain’t tryin’ to save no one
You know the origin story’s
always better than the moment of glory, anyway, hold up
...the sky with this feelin’ (feelin’)
...exit through the entrance (entrance)
...backstory in the margins (margins)
...omega level in perspective
I guess we’re just children,
but it seems to me that we can fight to beat the villain
Or we can fight for a world in which
Nobody wants to be the villain, let’s go

No capes never trusted a uniform
A snowflake’s chance in hell is all we need
to mutate evolve transform
Today into something these people have never seen

I see that sword in your hand, I see that blood on your breastplate
I see the thousand dead demons in your wake I see the ache
In your muscles, the weariness in your whisper but wait:
We were trying to find the beginning
I see the fire’s ignition, I see it feed into life
Your DNA is rearranged, a mutation that might
Finally free imagination to prepare to take flight but wait:
We were trying to find the beginning
I see your character description and your narrative arc
A hero built from a cascade of multicolored notecards
I see your splash page smirk and your supernova heart but wait:
we were tryin’ to find the beginning
It doesn’t start with the vivid full color cover in fact
It doesn’t start with your sword sharp and your legend intact
All superpower to the people in these days of future past
The beginning is the moment you choose to act
