[Original lyrics ©2025, 2026 Âmebrûlante. All rights reserved.] [Intro] [clean electric guitar arpeggio with delay] [distorted guitar power chords enter with drum fill] [Verse 1] [bass and drums only, palm-muted guitar accents] Shards of glass on the bedroom floor My words broke more than I bargained for Your eyes I've seen that look before Tried to fix it, tried to mend But every start meets the same damn end Your silence screams louder than the wind [distorted guitar] [Pre-Chorus 1] You wrote the script, I stole the scene With every line I didn't mean [Chorus] [full band, driving rhythm] I'm the villain in your story, right? The shadow you cast in your perfect light No gray, just black and white I'm the fiend in each page that you write [Guitar Solo] [harmonized lead guitars, fast pentatonic runs, wah-wah pedal] [Verse 2] [drums drop to half-time, clean guitar arpeggios] I never meant to break your heart But that's all I've done right from the start My pride just left us torn apart My words have cut you to the bone So take your pound of flesh while I atone 'Cause there's no confession That can melt your heart of stone [Chorus] [full band] I'm the villain in your story, right? The shadow you cast in your perfect light No gray, just black and white I'm the fiend in each page that you write [Bridge] [distorted guitar chugging, aggressive vocals] You wrote the script, I stole the scene With every line I didn't mean [Chorus] [belted vocals] I'm the villain in your story, right? The shadow you cast in your perfect light No gray, just black and white I'm the fiend in each page that you write [Outro] I'm the fiend in each page that you write I'm the fiend in each page that you write I'm not the fiend that I play... In your mind [final power chord rings out with feedback]
