[Verse 1]
Face in the mirror
Smear of red on a crooked grin
They locked me up in Arkham Asylum
Thought the walls could hold the chaos in
[Pre-Chorus]
Every guard hears that little tick
Like a bomb inside the brain
You can paint me as the monster
But you made this hurricane
[Chorus]
I'm the joker
Your prince of madness
Hear me laugh
At your broken palace
You call me villain
While you hide your blackened crown
I'm the joker
And I'm burning your kingdom down
[Verse 2]
Cards on the table
City shakes when I shuffle fate
Halo of sirens around me
But their righteous hands showed up too late
[Pre-Chorus]
You built towers out of fear
Then you blame me when they shake
Every scream's a new confession
Every bruise a joke you helped create
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Tie me up in chains
I’ll turn them into teeth
Bite the hand that wrote the rules beneath
If I’m the villain
You’re the author of the script
So when I laugh
It’s the sound of your disguise being ripped
[Chorus]
