[Verse 1]
You drew the line in chalk
All talk
Bright cape
Big grin
I watched you polish that halo
While I sharpened my sin
You gave your speech in daylight
I learned my tricks in the dark
You swing for glory and headlines
I swing to leave you a mark
[Chorus]
This crown's for the villain
I wear it in flames (hey!)
I broke your legend
Tore off your name
You fall from the sky
I’m cutting your strings
I’m not in your story
I’m burning your wings
This crown's for the villain
This crown's for the villain
[Verse 2]
You flash that painted symbol
Like fear’s supposed to obey
I carved my own on the concrete
Where your posters decay
You call it justice
I call it a joke
All of your rules
I bend till they choke
You had the city
The prayers
All the praise
Now hear them chant my name
[Chorus]
This crown's for the villain
I wear it in flames (oh yeah)
I broke your legend
Tore off your name
You fall from the sky
I’m cutting your strings
I’m not in your story
I’m burning your wings
This crown's for the villain
This crown's for the villain
[Bridge]
Look at you crawling
Cape in your teeth
All of that honor stuck to my feet
You were the statue
I am the crack
You are the promise
I am the fact
I take your mask like a trophy
Hold it high to the crowd (hey!)
You saved the world in your daydreams
I own it now
[Chorus]
This crown's for the villain
I wear it in flames
I broke your legend
Tore off your name
You fall from the sky
I’m cutting your strings
I’m not in your story
I’m burning your wings
This crown's for the villain
I rule the throne room
You were the sunrise
I am the doom
This crown's for the villain
This crown's for me
