[Pre-Chorus] I still look up for the ones who ran in I still say their names in the quiet They're dead — and that is holy Mark left on all that was left. [Chorus] Look up, look up, the sky don't save Cape in the dirt, we dug the grave Last one flew and never said All the Superman are dead All the Superman are dead [Verse 1] Ever since I was a youngin I believed the capes were real Men who split the thunder over steel and glass and field They hung above the towers when the night still knew their names Then one clear morning took them And the sky learned how to break [Pre-Chorus] I still look up for the ones who ran in I still say their names in the quiet They're dead — and that is holy Mark left on all that was left. [Chorus] Look up, look up, the sky don't save Cape in the dirt, we dug the grave Last one flew and never said All the Superman are dead All the Superman are dead [Verse 2] Twenty-five years later they are still reading names Kids in the rain for men who walked straight into flame Towers down, and still we owe them every breath we take Same morning in the bone, same debt we don't repay Sirens stitched the blocks, rust ate the rail They climbed while the rest of us learned how to fail The fallen don't need our speeches They need us not to wait [Pre-Chorus] I still look up for the ones who ran in I still say their names in the quiet They're dead — and that is holy Mark left on all that was left. [Chorus] Look up, look up, the sky don't save Cape in the dirt, we dug the grave Last one flew and never said All the Superman are dead All the Superman are dead [Verse 3] God rest the ones who didn't make it down God rest the lungs that kept on dying after Empty lots where boys once pointed Roofs that still remember laughter If they walked these streets, they already paid They died with a better man still living in their head Don't leave that man in the dirt Become him instead [Call] Man, step up Put on the cape Not to outshine the fallen — to finish what they gave They died in the stairwell, they died in the sky Believing somebody like them would still arrive Cloth on the shoulder, spine in the street Become the Superman The dead were remembering [Chorus] Look up, look up, the sky don't save Cape in the dirt, we dug the grave Last one flew and never said All the Superman are dead [Bridge] Say their names Then be it Don't cheapen the grave with waiting Don't ask the dead to save you too If a rusted town still has a pulse If a man can still hear his name Then take the cloth they left behind And become the one they claimed [Final Chorus] Look up, look up, we keep their names Cape from the dirt, not from the fame Last one flew and never said All the Superman are dead all the superman are dead [Final Chorus] Look up, look up, then put it on Cape on the back, the waiting's gone They're gone — so the living keep the faith Become the Superman The dead were remembering [Outro] Rest, you who ran in We see you We say you Now we become What you were remembering
