about

Twangy guitar thing I was playing whilst looking at my son Ty's book shelf. To me it kind of sounds like Creedence recorded in 2015.

lyrics

I want to write a graphic novel today, about a traveler with hell to pay
A kung fu master who's quick with a joke, a metaphor, or a punch to the throat
I write in pictures and draw with words, I listen loosely spit out what I heard
I want to write a graphic novel today, show the world what I have to say
The hero has a weakness like most of us do when we find out we got something to lose, pull the mask down, darken the eyes, sometimes it's easier behind a disguise
There's no denial, it's in style, put it on the pile, all the bios
No denial, put it on trial, all digested by the bile
The hero has a weakness like most of us do when we find out we got something to lose, pull the mask down, darken the eyes, sometimes it's easier behind a disguise
The hero has a weakness like most of us do when we find out we got something to lose, pull the mask down, darken the eyes, sometimes it's easier behind a disguise, sometimes it's easier to avert your eyes, sometimes it's easier to act surprised
