Lyrics

[Intro]

[male, low]

I keep the door locked

Chains on the frame

Name burned out

Face in the flame

[female, soft]

You say you're fine

I feel that quake

Whole sky trembles

With every breath you take

[Verse 1]

[male]

There’s a cage in my chest with a bent-old lock

Teeth on the bars just counting the clocks

If I ever let it out, it won’t just talk

It’ll walk through the globe like a parking lot

Every scar on my fist? That’s a warning sign

Every thought that I hide got a blade inside

People pray I’ll be “good,” I just play that part

But I tuck whole cities in the back of my heart

[female]

I see you staring at the floorboards

Like something’s trying to climb through

You call it “stress,” call it “long days”

But I know that thing knows me too

You say, “I’d burn it all, don’t tempt me”

Quiet voice, but the walls bend gently

I can hear that beast breathe heavy in your story

And every time you flinch, it’s hungry

[Chorus]

[male]

I’m the villain in my own story

Crown made of ash, hands all gory

If I crack, if I snap, if I ever let it roar

I could drag this whole world to the floor

[female]

So I stand at your chest like a watchtower

Holding back that tide, hour after hour

You say you’re saving them, but you won’t save you

‘Cause the villain in your story is the only truth

[Verse 2]

[male]

I don’t fear monsters, I bite my tongue

‘Cause I know where they learn what they’ve become

They studied me, shadow on the bedroom wall

Every “what if” bigger than a wrecking ball

I could curse a man’s name ‘til his roots turn dust

Smile at a queen ‘til her throne turns rust

It’s a quiet kind of power, tucked under my skin

Like a match in a forest full of summer-dry limbs

[female]

You laugh like, “Relax, I’m just talkin’”

But the ground cracks anywhere you’re walkin’

Your mercy’s a mask that you glued too tight

Over eyes that flash like a power line’s light

I’ve seen you in the mirror at 3 a.m.

Arguin’ with ghosts just to cage that thing

Sayin’, “If I let go, it’s the last sunrise”

You’d trade the whole world just to silence your mind

[Chorus]

[male]

I’m the villain in my own story

Crown made of ash, hands all gory

If I crack, if I snap, if I ever let it roar

I could drag this whole world to the floor

[female]

So I stand at your chest like a watchtower

Holding back that tide, hour after hour

You say you’re saving them, but you won’t save you

‘Cause the villain in your story is the only truth

[Bridge]

[call-and-response]

[male]

Don’t trust my calm (don’t trust your calm)

It’s the quiet ones that fall (you’re close to the fall)

One loose word, I black out the sun

And I’ll swear I was just “having fun”

[female]

You’re not a hero, you’re not that doom

You’re a person in a locked-up room

But you love that fear like a favorite scar

‘Cause if you’re the villain, you can’t fall as hard

[male]

Nah, I’m the curse they can’t shake off (yeah)

Whole map quake when my rage coughs

If I ever let it out, no way back in

So I’ll chain myself and call that “win”

[Chorus]

[male]

I’m the villain in my own story

Crown made of ash, hands all gory

If I crack, if I snap, if I ever let it roar

I could drag this whole world to the floor

[female]

So I stand at your chest like a watchtower

Holding back that tide, hour after hour

You say you’re saving them, but you won’t save you

‘Cause the villain in your story is the only truth
