The Villain v2 (Portastudio Mix) (Suno Exclusive)

[Verse 1] Shook their hands in the desert sun Traded my colors for the other one They whisper that I sold my soul For a pocket of silver to make me whole They think it's for a promise, or the easy life They don't see the reason, don't see the knife [Verse 2] I see the hate in the eyes I knew Burning the bridges I once walked through Every shared laugh is a funeral now I wear their disgust like a thorny crown Saw my name carved out of every photograph Just a ghost walking down a broken path [Chorus] So call me the villain, call me the lie Spit my name at a hollow sky I have to be the devil so the saints can win But this righteous path feels just like sin And nobody knows, nobody can The lonely burden of a fallen man [Solo] [Verse 3] I give them codes, I give them plans I feel the blood on my own two hands Every truth I feed them is a poison dart Aimed right back at my own heart I eat at their table, I breathe their air And pretend there's no part of me that cares [Solo] [Bridge] Just me and the commander in a dusty room A silent agreement sealed in the gloom He said the cost would be my name And I'd have to learn to love the blame The price was a hospital bed and fading light So I walked into their darkness from our dying light [Verse 2 - Reprise] I see the hate in the eyes I knew Burning the bridges I once walked through Every shared laugh is a funeral now I wear their disgust like a thorny crown Saw my name carved out of every photograph Just a ghost walking down a broken path [Chorus] So call me the villain, call me the lie Spit my name at a hollow sky I have to be the devil so the saints can win But this righteous path feels just like sin And nobody knows, nobody can The lonely burden of a fallen man [Outro] One day they'll read it in a classified file Maybe they'll understand for a little while But honor is just a word I sold For a story that will never be told A story that can never be told A story that can never be told [Solo]
