Perfect Hero, Broken Villain

[Verse 1]
You said you wanted a storybook
White cape, bright teeth, good light
I gave you claws and a crooked grin
Bad jokes, late nights, bar fights
You packed your halo inside his car
Texted "sorry" with a little heart
He gets your Sunday, polished, clean
I get the echo, the empty screen
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess I was cast as the warning sign
Red pen scribbled through every line
You chose the script with the hopeful end
Left me the credits and the bitter pen (yeah)
[Chorus]
He’s your perfect hero, shining in the sun
I’m the dark villain you blame for what you’ve done
You wanted saving, I dragged you underground
Now you ride shotgun with your miracle man
While I wear the horns, the mask, the brand
Perfect hero, broken villain, shut out of your promised land
[Verse 2]
He holds doors, I kick ‘em down
He calms storms, I burn the town
He prays for you in an ironed shirt
I laugh too loud, I like the hurt
You said, "You scare me," under your breath
But you kissed me hard like you loved the wreck
Now you’re in white, he’s center stage
I’m in the back row choking on rage (hey)
[Pre-Chorus]
You needed black just to love your white
A little chaos for your quiet life
Now you rewrite every scene we had
Turn every almost into something bad
[Chorus]
He’s your perfect hero, shining in the sun
I’m the dark villain you blame for what you’ve done
You wanted saving, I dragged you underground
Now you ride shotgun with your miracle man
While I wear the horns, the mask, the brand
Perfect hero, broken villain, shut out of your promised land
[Bridge]
Maybe I liked the shadows too much
Maybe you liked the way they touched
You point at me when the lights come on
Tell the crowd I was all that’s wrong
But you kept coming back, back for the thrill (yeah)
Now you walk away, say it was my will
Call me monster so you stay pure
Call him answer, call him cure
[Chorus]
He’s your perfect hero, shining in the sun
I’m the dark villain you blame for what you’ve done
You wanted saving, I dragged you underground
Now you ride shotgun with your miracle man
While I wear the horns, the mask, the brand
Perfect hero, broken villain, shut out of your promised land
[Outro]
Roll the credits, fade to black
You found your halo, I fade to black
Perfect hero in your happy end
I’m just the ghost you’ll see again (again)

rap, Hybrid hip hop / electronic rock with male vocals; low, menacing verses over sparse 808-style pulse and eerie synth pads, then explosive Skillet-like choruses with distorted guitars, smashed drums, and stacked gang vocals. Verses stay tight and rhythmic, pre-chorus swells with rising synth arps, and the final chorus adds octave-doubled screams and glitchy stutters on key words for drama., rock, electronic, hip hop
