Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They call me the problem when the door gets kicked in
But I was the kid they left out in the rain again
Food stamp cards, cracked phone, one shoe by the mat
Mom with her head in her hands, I was raised on that
I learned quick: take first, trust last, run fast
Schoolyard teeth, blue lights, and a screen-door past
Now I keep receipts in my chest like scars
If I’m the monster, tell me who built these bars
[Pre-Chorus]
I had to bite the hand just to get to the plate
Had to burn my own halo just to get through the gate
And if I’m looking cold, it’s because I know
The ones who made me bleed still want me to glow
[Chorus]
I’m the bad guy, but I kept us alive
I’m the black eye, still the reason we drive
Say my name like thunder, say it twice, say it loud
I’m the villain in the story, but I carried the crowd
I’m the bad guy, yeah I’m all that you blame
But I wore the bruises so you wouldn’t take them
If I gotta be the monster, let it be me now
I’m the villain in the story, but I carried the crowd
[Verse 2]
My brother sold pride for a lighter and a ride
My sister learned silence with her back to the tide
And I was in the alley with a pocket full of rage
Swearing I’d get out or I’d die in that cage
Found a little peace in the stink of the train
Head down, fists up, let the hurt become flame
You saw the spray paint, never saw the church
Never saw me patching up the family I first
I broke windows to pull us through
Cut my own tongue just to speak the truth
So if I went rough, don’t act brand new
A wolf in the ash still bleeds like you
[Pre-Chorus]
I had to bite the hand just to get to the plate
Had to burn my own halo just to get through the gate
And if I’m looking cold, it’s because I know
The ones who made me bleed still want me to glow
[Chorus]
I’m the bad guy, but I kept us alive
I’m the black eye, still the reason we drive
Say my name like thunder, say it twice, say it loud
I’m the villain in the story, but I carried the crowd
I’m the bad guy, yeah I’m all that you blame
But I wore the bruises so you wouldn’t take them
If I gotta be the monster, let it be me now
I’m the villain in the story, but I carried the crowd
[Bridge]
[Half-time, guitars wide]
Mama, I know you hear the sirens in my chest
Every slammed door turned my mercy into debt
I didn’t want the crown, I wanted out
But somebody had to hold this house
So I took the knife to the lie, to the rot, to the fear
If I’m the reason you’re still here
Then I’ll wear the horns, I’ll wear the shame
Just don’t forget who fed the flame
[Chorus]
I’m the bad guy, but I kept us alive
I’m the black eye, still the reason we drive
Say my name like thunder, say it twice, say it loud
I’m the villain in the story, but I carried the crowd
I’m the bad guy, yeah I’m all that you blame
But I wore the bruises so you wouldn’t take them
If I gotta be the monster, let it be me now
I’m the villain in the story, but I carried the crowd
[Outro]
Let them call me evil
If evil was a shield
I bled for the exits
And I made this deal
If I’m the villain in the story
Then I know what that means
I was the one in the fire
Keeping us between the seams
