I went to clinical trials to take my powers away

Syringes, needles and vials to get from red to grey

I tore the mask from my face and I replaced it with a blank page

And I let everyone else decide the colour of my veins

I woke up strapped in a chair with neon lights overhead

Wires and tubes to contain me and to keep me fed

They got me hooked up to 808s and loops to make a heartbeat

Until my lungs had imploded and I got back to my feet

And so I found a curtain

And I spray-painted it red

And I took the covers from my bed

And I made a uniform instead

I took the antibiotics to stop the swelling in my head

And then I started to crumble

I, I cowered in corners simply to evade the fight

I, I pulled out my heart and filled it full of Kryptonite

I, I ran away into the darkness to avoid the light

I, I pulled out my heart and filled it full of Kryptonite
