secrets from the lair

Villain

you painted me out to be the villain,

so i became one

your presence is unwelcome, in my dark world

i used to be such a good kid

but it got me nothing

while the darkness around me promised me vengeance

i fought it until i couldn't anymore

and that is when things took a turn

whether for worse or for better, i do not know

but the prey became the predator

of undeniable esoteric allure

but little did they know of the monster that lurks beyond the facade

yeah, i'm all bite no bark

i watch as they fall to my wicked schemes

i am, and always have been a little heinous, i confess

but now at least i accept myself as i am

i feel much more at ease

as now i have stopped being fake nice,

as i have stopped disguising my narcissism as altruism

i want all the power and the pain

i like being the villain, i admit

but darling, the villain will always be the villain as long as the hero tells the story
