The Velvet Teen
Super Me
He keeps to himself these days
Doesn't have much to talk about
But he tells himself over and again
"She'll be here soon."
Emotions are all the same
Or maybe just love and loneliness
But that enlightenment doesn't help at all
It just makes it worse, since she's not around

That's when the sky cries for him
And the lightning strikes, he's mesmerized

Oh, super me
You're all that I long to

Tries not to think too much
But everything makes him think of her
When reason escapes him
Love takes its place
He's got a frame of mind
Which captures the bigger picture
But that enlightenment doesn't help at all
It just makes it worse, since she's not around

That's when the sky cries for him and
The lightning strikes, he's mesmerized
If the end of the world
Came crashing down on him
He'd welcome it with open arms
Like an old friend

And oh, super me
You're all that I long to be
Searching the skies and to my surprise
We always end up
In each other's arms
You help me to disarm
As I fall apart
You help me to start again, again

And that's when the sky cries for him
And the lightning strikes him down
With open arms
Like an old friend
