Hometown Villain

~ Lyrics ~

I’ve been lied to I’ve been cheated 

I’ve been broken I’ve been beaten

I was told what to do 

And I just told ‘em to eat it 

I’m not weak for a weakness so inherit your meekness 

I did what you wanted and never felt more defeated 

I gave my heart, my soul

My back, my bones and everything I ever dreamed 

I’m way too old for this house ain’t home a cigarette for the memory 

I used your pride to slit my throat and now you get to watch me bleed 

Tell me what you want and I’ll tell you what I need 

If you wanna use my soul

Then I’ll stain your name

You’ll dig your own hole

You’ve messed with a villain

Right out your back door

You’ll never see me coming

I don’t care anymore

Don’t mess with a villain

I like knives, I like lies

I like tears when you cry 

I like screams I like dreams 

I want to be in your mind 

I’m just the monster you made rage 

So tell me about the man I am that you so hate 

What do you want from me what you expect from me 

What did you think you see sunflower and poppy seeds 

I’m public enemy I’m the bad guy 

I cut people just to watch them cry

Everybody judge me then throw me into shame 

Everybody hate me as I pour a another drink 

Everybody blame as I start to decay 

Everybody shut up and focus on the pain

Everybody turn away I got you on the run 

Everybody shut your mouth that’s all you’ve ever done 

Everybody place the blame and start points guns 

Point it to my head I dare you shoot one

If you wanna use my soul

Then I’ll stain your name

You’ll dig your own hole

You’ve messed with a villain

Right out your back door

You’ll never see me coming

I don’t care anymore

I’m just a hometown villain

I’m a villain

Ah… Go!

The villain

For the killing

It’s so real when everyone

Makes you the bad guy

If you wanna use my soul

Then I’ll stain your name

You’ll dig your own hole

You’ve messed with a villain

Right out your back door

You’ll never see me coming

I don’t care anymore

I’m your friendly hometown villain
