No One Cries for the Villain (feat. Echo Vale)

Every song is a portal to a time, a place, a feeling, or perhaps another dimension

Lyrics

I didn't ask to wear the black
But you handed me the script like that
Said if I don't come crawling back
I'm cold, I'm cruel, I'm cracked

I built the fire just to see
But you called it arson when I left the scene
You loved me quiet, full of doubt
I found my voice, now you shut me out

I wasn't trying to be your end
I just stopped breaking so you could mend

No one cries for the villain
No one prays for the thief
Even if the crime
Was choosing peace
I wasn't heartless, I was hurting
But you needed me to bleed
No one cries for the villain
Especially if it's me

You made your pain a stage play
And cast me in the part of shame
I wore the mask, I played along
But now the lights are gone

You want a monster you can blame
Not the mirror that says your name
So call me selfish, call me wrong
But I've been dying all along

I pulled the knife out of my spine
And you swore it was a sign

No one cries for the villain
No one sings for the cursed
Even if the only sin
Was putting my healing first
I wasn't heartless, just surviving
But you only loved me worse
No one cries for the villain
When they break the universe

No one cries for the villain
No forgiveness in your book
Just a name crossed out in silence
And the last breath that I took
I wasn't evil, just unchosen
But I broke the role you wrote in
No one cries for the villain
So I won't beg to be golden

So here's your ending, clean and clear
I'll disappear like I was never here
