The Reclusive Hero by The Ladybug Transistor Lyrics

In the pilot's chair, in the first seat of the plane
And from where I sit, the view's just the same
Over the garden now, we turn on down your street
This is where you live, but there's no home I see

Thought that was all you desired
A reclusive hero for hire
Just put one back on the shelf
Knowing that you won't sleep well

In a crowded room, there's not much room to breathe
It seems the kitchen now is quite the scene
The words came off my wrist, washed by the rain
Of a thousand tears that came too late

They couldn't spell out your name
Living beneath feeling pain
Thought that was all you desired
A reclusive hero for hire
Now you're beginning to tire
A desperate hero for hire
Just put one back on the shelf
Knowing that you won't sleep well
I'm walking down the street, absorbed by this maze
