The Lying Hero
It was just the fall of October when the skies were still sleepy
The sun had pulled its blankets, yet the naked trees looked creepy
Amongst the golden rays lies a mysterious yet recognizable shadow
A man in green, mud, and gray walked on stage like a pro
And so we hugged him and kissed him and filled him with joy
The sun threw its bed and jumped like a happy little boy
The man speaks like a volcano, never knowing when to explode
With his tall tales of beating bad guys, his face of excitement showed
Alas it was night when the beautiful lady sits curvedly with her child
And all her little children running like cheetahs in the midnight wild
Thus pops the question to the man if he was ever tired
For being with his queen and princess was of everything he desired
Speaking for himself, he was always happy, well fed, and satisfied
His dirt painted face and the pain of his eyes made his words seem much denied
But of course, the good things in life were so overwhelming
The cave of imagination and wonder had made the mind go in cozy dwelling
That night two silhouettes dance, following the little drops in the sparkling starlight
The next morning the wings of justice take a grand flight
Months passed and the promised return was set on fire
In tears and in dreadfulness like the coal itself, for my smile he became a liar
