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
