lyrics

My hands are caught in your wires while I try to defuse you
Your words project out like vomit, I can’t even smell what’s true
But I feel your hook digging into my grave
And it’s some of my fault ‘cus I’m the one who followed the bait

You say that I’m a villain but I’m really trying to help, you got it all wrong
You can’t play the hero in a war that you first started with me all along

I’m your villain, villain, villain

Burning bridges with fire, winds they fan and carry the news
Where is the man we admired, is it real or just a ruse?
Down below you see a whipped goat trying to leave
Can’t you see the real enemy is above you and me

You say that I’m a villain but I’m really trying to help, you got it all wrong
You can’t play the hero in a war that you first started with me all along

I’m your villain, villain, villain

Paint me into your poisoned well
Make me into your living hell
Paint me into your poisoned well
Make me into your living hell

You say that I’m a villain but I’m only trying to help, you got it all wrong
You can’t play the hero in a war that you first started with me all along

I’m your villain, villain, villain
