[Intro]
(Soft, haunting)

My name is Elena...
They told me I'd wake up someday
And all the nightmares would disappear

They never did.

[Verse 1]
Every night feels like a warning sign
Every shadow knows what's running through my mind
I hear them calling from the other side
A thousand secrets I can never hide

They said I was normal
Just another face in the crowd
Now everybody wants a piece of what I am

I'm the fracture in the story
The crack beneath the crown
The thing they never wanted walking around

[Pre-Chorus]
One blood calls me holy
One blood calls me cursed
Either way they're coming
And they're putting me first

[Chorus]
Everybody wants my soul tonight
Heaven's at the door
Hell's along for the ride

Angels in the skyline
Demons in the dark
Everybody's aiming
For the beating of my heart

And the only one they warned me about
Is the only one who never let me down

So tell me
Should I run?
Should I hide?

Or trust the villain standing by my side?

[Verse 2]
Silas wears his scars like a second skin
Like every war he survived still lives within
They call him a monster
Like they always do

It's easier than facing what's actually true

I've seen the weight behind his eyes
The ghosts he keeps alive
Maybe we're both just things
The world refused to understand

[Pre-Chorus]
If I'm the spark
Then he's the fire
If fate wants blood
We'll take it higher

[Chorus]
Everybody wants my soul tonight
Heaven's at the door
Hell's along for the ride

Angels in the skyline
Demons in the dark
Everybody's aiming
For the beating of my heart

And the only one they warned me about
Is the only one who never let me down

So tell me
Should I run?
Should I hide?

Or trust the villain standing by my side?

[Breakdown]
(Whispered)

Maybe monsters aren't born...

Maybe they're built
Piece by piece
By pain
By loss
By everyone who leaves

(Scream)

AND MAYBE HEROES ARE THE SAME

[Final Chorus]
Everybody wants my soul tonight
The world is burning
And I'm caught inside

The Vampire King is rising
The end is drawing near
But somehow I feel safer
Whenever you're here

They can call you evil
They can call you damned
But you're the only one
Who ever gave a damn

So if the heavens fall
And darkness takes the sky

I'll trust the villain
Standing by my side

[Outro]
(Soft)

My name is Elena...

A miracle.
A mistake.

And maybe that's exactly
What the world was afraid of.
