28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12

I woke up in the middle of the road again. It was already light out but no cars were coming. I sat up and looked around; directly in front of me was an amazing view of the mountains and open sky. I know I need to get home so I grab my bike and head back.

Every morning I wake up just the same
Another victim of ordinary fame
I don't see myself as invincible
It's not true at all

I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Trying to save the world, but never really sure

"Donnie Darko? What the hell kind of name is that? It's like some sort of superhero or something." I looked at her evenly, God she was beautiful, and then I said calmly; "What makes you think I'm not?"

I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Nothing more than that, that's all I really am

Just a day job that's someone's gotta do
It's kinda hard when everyone looks up to you
Try to make it look easy, gonna make it look good
Like anybody would

I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Trying to save the world, but never really sure

"Sometimes I'm afraid of what you might tell me…I can only hope that the answers will come to me in my sleep." Everything is so clear, when he comes to me, at night. It's as easy as following the orbs that guide me to what I need. What I'm supposed to find. I tell myself that I'm not alone because it has to be worth it. It has to be worth it, I don't want to be alone.


I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Nothing more than that, that's all I really am

I'm just like everybody else
After all the hype it's hard to tell
I keep my game face on so well

I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero

"I hope than when the world comes to and end,


I'm trying to save the world

"I can breathe a sigh of relief,


I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero


"Because there will be so much to look forward to."

For them, it will be just the beginning. I have to fix things, give them a chance to find out on their own. I have to do it for them because it feels great to have a psycho for a son. Because weird is a compliment. Because they're worth it because they made me feel worthy. I have to do this for them.


Trying to save the world
I try to hide my true identity
But no one knows it's only me

I know what's coming, I know what has to happen, Frank was right I already know the answer. All I can do is laugh. Laugh, smile; I think about the sunset and the grand canyon. Beautiful images to fill up those dark spaces. Grandma Death said:
