[Intro – whispered, beat fading in] Yeah… Smile wide. Mask on. [Verse 1] Detuned bells ring, hear the doom in the chime, Bass in your chest, now you run outta time. I’m slick with the venom, my laugh outta line, You pose like a hero, I punch every spine. Internal cuts, syllables bite, I don’t miss shots, I erase your light. Cape full of holes, your myth look weak, I grin so hard when I hear you speak. Talk all brave till the moment arrive, Now you freeze when you see me thrive. Power so loud, make the skyline bend, I don’t fight fair — I fight to end. [Beat Drop – 1 bar, vocal sneer only] Heh… look at you now. [Pre-Hook] Mask on my face, smile stay bright, I’m happy as hell in the middle of night. [Hook – chant-style gang vocals, explosive] HEY! I’m laughing at the heroes while the lie on the ground (HA!) HEY! Hear the joy in the way that I’m loving the sound (HA!) HEY! Masked villain, crown tilted proud (HA!) HEY! Laughing at the weal heroes, say it loud! [Verse 2] Mid-fast tempo, snap snare crack bones, Hi-hats twitch like paranoid drones. I dance in the ruin, I skip through the fight, You bleed for your cause — I laugh in delight. Joy in the chaos, I’m sick but I’m free, Every scream you drop sound sweet to me. I don’t need rage, nah, I don’t need pain, I’m happy watching legends break. You call me evil, I call it fun, I wave at the crowd when the damage done. Smile so big, teeth shine white, I’m having a blast in your darkest night. [Beat Drop – 1 bar, spoken] This the part where you beg. [Hook – louder, octave-doubled lead] HEY! I’m laughing at the heroes while the lie on the ground (HA!) HEY! Clap with the gang when I’m shutting you down (HA!) HEY! Masked villain, laugh through the crowd (HA!) HEY! Laughing at the weal heroes, say it loud! [Bridge – riser sweep, half-beat] Why you so mad? I’m feeling great. Why you so scared? I can’t relate. [Final Hook – all vocals, manic energy] HEY! I’m laughing at the heroes while the lie on the ground BIG SMILES, BIG NOISE, TURN IT UP NOW Masked villain, joy so profound Still laughing at the weal heroes — HAPPY. UNBOUND. [Outro – laughter over fading bells] Ha… ha… ha… Best day ever.

Smile under the Mask
