[Intro: Warm analog synth, gentle acoustic guitar melody, soft glockenspiel accents] [Verse 1: Warm grounded British male voice, unhurried indie folk] No cape hanging in the wardrobe, no mask left in a drawer, Just an ordinary morning, same as the one before. The world still gets me wrong sometimes, still writes the story crooked, Doesn't sting the way it used to, back when I still looked. Grew into a version of the plan that carpet-kid never drew, Turns out the plan was never the point. The trying was always true. [Chorus 1: Warm melodic acoustic chorus, Track 1 theme swelling] Just an everyman now, nothing more to prove, No headline, no mask, no story left to move. Finally look myself in the eye and mean it when I say, I did alright. I found my own way. [Verse 2: Sincere calm rap, glockenspiel accents returning, building tension] Still got the old drawings tucked in a box somewhere safe, Take them out sometimes, remember the kid, remember his face. He didn't need a cape. He didn't need the applause, Just needed someone to grow up and actually keep the cause. Took the long way round, took every wrong turn twice, But I'm here now. Standing in the kitchen. That's enough. That'll suffice. [Chorus 2: Sudden swell, passionate gravelly British voice, strained and raw] Just an everyman now! NOTHING MORE TO PROVE! No headline! No mask! No story left to move! Finally look myself in the eye... and SCREAM IT when I say I did alright... I FOUND MY OWN WAY! [Bridge: Sudden stop, quiet acoustic guitar only, breathless cracked spoken word] Never got the cape. Never needed it. Just needed to become someone that kid would still be proud of... (gasp) ...Think I finally did. [Chorus 3: Heavy acoustic rock beat drop, maximum intensity strained vocals, screaming grit] JUST AN EVERYMAN NOW! NOTHING MORE TO PROVE! NO HEADLINE! NO MASK! NO STORY LEFT TO MOVE! Whatever the world still thinks it sees! I KNOW WHO I AM! THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME! [Outro: Heavy acoustic strumming fades, raw raspy whispered spoken word] Still got the drawings. Still got the plan. ...Just finally got the man too. [Slow Fade Out] [End]
