Lyrics
I miss the days my mind would just rest quiet
My imagination hadn't turned on me yet
I used to let my words wax poetic
But it melted a puddle at my feet now
It is a calcifying crime, it's tragic
I've turned to petrified past life baggage
I want to disappear and just start over
So, here we are
And I'll breathe again
'Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be a warrior, please
Make me a Hercules
I've lost a grip on where I started from
I wish I'd thought ahead and left a few crumbs
I'm on the hunt for who I've not yet become
But I'd settle for a little equilibrium
There is a war inside my heart gone silent
Both sides dissatisfied, and somewhat violent
The issue I have now begun to see
I am the only, lonely casualty
This is not the end, though
'Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be a warrior, please
Make me a Hercules
'Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be a warrior, please
Make me a Hercules
This is my darkest hour
A long road has lead me out here
But I only need turn around to face the light
And decide, flight or fight
'Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be
'Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be a warrior, please
Make me a Hercules
