[Intro] Are we as bad as them? Hard to say it When every mirror in the house Keeps takin’ their side (yeah) [Verse 1] Talkin’ like a legend in my own head Chest out, actin’ like I’m heaven-sent But I see the screenshots, words I left read Hear the quiver in your voice I never answered In my movie, I’m the one who saves you In yours, I’m the man you had to live through I brag about the battles that I “survived” You remember all the times I watched you cry I call it “trauma,” call it “character arc” You call it what it is, just leavin’ you in the dark I tell my boys I had to cut you for my peace You tell your girls I was another wolf off the leash (yeah) [Chorus] Hero of my story, villain in yours I kick down “demons,” you call it your doors I say I was broken, I say I was tryin’ You say that’s the costume I wear while I’m lyin’ Are we as bad as them, or worse in disguise? Cuz I keep paintin’ halos over all of my lies I talk like a savior when I tell my side But in your bedtime tale, I’m the reason you cried (oh) [Verse 2] Funny how I edit every memory Turn the hurt I gave you to a tragedy “that happened to me” I spin it like I had no choice, like I was forced But I remember every time I could’ve stopped, and stayed the course I loved the way you looked at me like I was somethin’ holy Fed my ego while I slowly turned your world lonely I call it “bad timing,” “wrong place,” “young age” You call it what it felt like—livin’ in a cage Now I’m on the couch tellin’ friends I did my best You’re in therapy tryin’ to get me out your chest I wear all my guilt like a fashion piece You wear all my words like a brand you can’t bleach (yeah) [Chorus] Hero of my story, villain in yours I call it a lesson, you call it a war I say I was wounded, I say I was blind You say that’s the anthem of every cruel mind Are we as bad as them, or worse in disguise? Cuz I keep paintin’ halos over all of my lies I talk like a savior when I tell my side But in your bedtime tale, I’m the reason you cried [Bridge] So whose truth wins The one that rhymes, or the one that stings? If I’m the monster in your book Do I get to argue with the ink? (nah) Maybe I’m just like them Same sharp teeth in a softer grin If you’re the one still bleedin’ Do my excuses mean anything? [Chorus] Hero of my story, villain in yours You lock every memory, double the doors I say I’m “evolving,” I swear that I’ve changed You say that’s a mask with a different name Are we as bad as them, or worse in disguise? Cuz I keep paintin’ halos over all of my lies I talk like a savior when I tell my side But in the book you write I’m the reason you hide (yeah)

rap, Dark cinematic rap over moody close-mic’d piano and deep sub-bass, male vocals. Intense, confessional delivery that starts hushed then grows into a snarling half‑shout on the later hooks. Sparse, punchy drums with sharp snare cracks; eerie reversed piano layers in the second verse. Occasional whispered doubles and low harmonies to blur the line between hero and villain., moody
