Verse 1 Another knight in shining armor Another speech about what’s right Another chosen one with destiny Showing up to save the night You’ve got your magic sword and courage I’ve heard this story all before You act like you’re the first one standing At my throne room door ⸻ Pre-Chorus You call me evil I call it perspective Funny how those always seem to clash ⸻ Chorus Got that big bad energy Every rumor’s true enough If you came here for a hero You should probably leave, my love Got that big bad energy No halo over me Everybody needs a monster Guess tonight that’s gonna be me ⸻ Verse 2 They paint me in the darkest colors Tell the kingdom what to fear But history’s just propaganda Written by who’s still standing here Maybe I burned down a castle Maybe I broke a sacred vow Maybe every bad decision Looks a lot like power now ⸻ Pre-Chorus You’re chasing glory I’m making history We are not the same thing ⸻ Chorus Got that big bad energy Every rumor’s true enough If you came here for redemption You’re already out of luck Got that big bad energy No halo over me Everybody needs a monster Guess tonight that’s gonna be me ⸻ Bridge (Everything drops except bass and synth) Tell me… How many heroes came before you? How many legends lost their nerve? How many villains got created By getting exactly what they deserved? ⸻ Breakdown (Heavy guitars slam in) I stopped asking for forgiveness I stopped waiting for permission I stopped trying to fit inside Somebody else’s definition ⸻ Final Chorus Got that big bad energy Got the crown and got the scars Every kingdom needs a nightmare To remind them who they are Got that big bad energy No apologies from me Everybody wants a villain Until they need one to be free ⸻ Outro Another knight… Another prophecy… Another hero learning… They’re not the main character of my story.
