[Verse 1]
I scrubbed my hands
Raw to the bone
Every kindness
Came back as stone
Fed every ghost
Till I went numb
Saint on the surface
Rot at the tongue
[Chorus]
I give up the good guy
Tear off this borrowed skin
If I am the villain
Let the flames drag me in (yeah)
I accept every scar now
Every chain I forged tight
I deserve what I suffer
So let the dark be my right
[Verse 2]
You preached of grace
With sharpened teeth
Smiled while you stapled
Wings to my grief
I kept kneeling
On broken glass
Praying for mercy
That never passed
[Chorus]
I give up the good guy
Tear off this borrowed skin
If I am the villain
Let the flames drag me in (burn)
I accept every scar now
Every chain I forged tight
I deserve what I suffer
So let the dark be my right
[Bridge]
No more pleading
For a softer sentence
I wear this verdict
Like a jagged necklace
If hurt is holy
Then I’ve been blessed
Baptized in backlash
Laid to unrest
[Chorus]
I give up the good guy
Tear off this borrowed skin
If I am the villain
Let the flames drag me in (let me in)
I accept every scar now
Every chain I forged tight
I deserve what I suffer
So let the dark be my right
[Outro]
Let the dark be my right
Let the dark
Be my right (roar)
