Burn it down, let them watch
(Ah)
Once upon a time, a time
I tried to wear the crown
Perfect little smile, never looked down
Carrying the weight of a world that didn't care
Gasping for a breath of some corrupted air
But the white armor gets heavy on the skin
So I opened up the door and let the darkness in
Stopped chasing the Sun, found comfort in the gray
Now I'm watching all the heroes fade away
Oh, look at you, trembling in fear
Just because the truth is finally here
I'm not the monster, I'm just awake
Shattering the rules that were made to break
I'm not your savior, I'm not your saint
I'm the messy picture that you cannot paint
Call it wicked, call it twisted, call it insanity
I'm just rewriting your tragic humanity
If being free makes me the bad guy in the scene
Then I'm the best damn villain that you've ever seen
No savior here, just me
Yeah, I like it like that
Watch me reign
Okay, cut the drama, let's get straight to the facts
I'm distinct, extinct, covering my tracks
Do you want a puppet? Go buy a doll at the store
I'm the player one, kicking down the door
They say be humble, I say bow down
I turned the cemetery into my playground
Snake eyes, rolling dice, betting on my sin
When you play against the house, baby, you never win
Oh, look at you, trembling in fear
Just because the truth is finally here
I'm not the monster, I'm just awake
Shattering the rules that were made to break
I'm not your savior, I'm not your saint
I'm the messy picture that you cannot paint
Call it wicked, call it twisted, call it insanity
I'm just rewriting your tragic humanity
If being free makes me the bad guy in the scene
Then I'm the best damn villain that you've ever seen
No savior here, just me
History is written by the ones who hold the pen
But legends legends are born when the story ends
I don't need your forgiveness
I don't need your applause
I only need chaos
Yeah!
I'm not your savior, I'm not your saint
I'm the messy picture that you cannot paint
Call it wicked, call it twisted, call it insanity
I'm just rewriting your tragic humanity
If being free makes me the bad guy in the scene
Then I'm the best damn villain that you've ever seen
No savior here, just me
