Villain Lyrics

Ribcage is ablaze

Heart a scorched hole

All I taste a burnt haze

Am I in control?

My mind turns to steam

I'm kneeling at your feet

Infest my bloodstream

But this red is all I see

Is all I see

Don't play with matches

That's what mother said

To light it I'm tempted

But I guess you know best

Cause' I would defend you

So I guess I'll push it aside

I would protect you

I lost the privilege of talking

the moment you lit the fire

So any last words

What?

A villain's tale is never told

A villain's song is never sung

A villain's perspective is far too cold

A villain's side is always wrong

Do you believe that's who I am

Monsters don't deserve the title of human

When their consciousness is poisonous

Their toxicity lies

In smoke in mirrors do I hide

Patience

Something which we all possess but

Won't hold

But these flames you're planting just seem

To grow

The fumes alone could drive a person mad

If you

Want a villain then I could

Provide one

Just say please and with one blink it

Will be done

Yet something that you'll never understand

A villain isn't always bad

Oh, don't you dare pollute me again

The smog covers my eyes

You're hurting me

Please, you're burning me

The embers ignite inside

These mistakes that you've made

Pushing me 'ward the hell pit

Perhaps I'll rise aflame

Is all I see

But

A villain can't ever be good

A villain's thirst is only quenched with blood

A villain is never misunderstood

Oh no, a villain would kill again if they could

But right now I don't care what you believe

I'm not a toy, but you disagree

You're forcing me to sympathise

The gas inhaled, my bones now frail

My eyes now veiled, I apologise

Treading

Over the ash left behind from

Last time

Ignoring and obscuring all the

Past signs

And burying them down inside my core

Furnace

Set alight and now my view is

Smoking

Yet why should a monster be a

Victim

When for you they can survive the fall

I'm not the villain

Just like you I feel

I am a person

So why do you insist on this

Delusion

No need for us to play pretend

Why am I always the villain
