LIKE A VILLAIN [LIVE 2024] Songtext
von Bad Omens

I′m required by protocol to keep interaction with you to a minimum
This will be our only chance to talk
We've got a lot to do
The important thing is you′re back with me
You should pace yourself though, good luck

We're Bad Omens, make some noise

Look into my face, then look again
We are not the same, we're different
To tell your tales and fables, you couldn′t wait
You need a new clean slate without the dents
A place to put your pain, your consequence
When you look into the mirror, are you even there?

I don′t wanna know all your secrets 'cause I′ll tell
It's hard enough being alone with myself
I don′t know how long I'll be holding on
I know you tried your hardest, I know that you meant well
But you pushed me to the edge and I tripped, and I fell
I don′t know how long I'll be holding on


So write a brand-new page, then write again
I know your act is staged yet you pretend
All while you're turning tables with missing legs
I think you′ve overstayed your welcome in
So (go the fuck away), don′t come again
I'll see your face in the fire and burn it out

I don′t wanna know all your secrets 'cause I′ll tell
It's hard enough being alone with myself
I don′t know how long I'll be holding on
I know you tried your hardest, I know that you meant well
But you pushed me to the edge and I tripped, and I fell
I don't know how long I′ll be holding on

You know what′s funny?
I don't see a fucking mosh pit forming right now
You know what to do in the pit right there, my friends

Like a villain, I couldn′t be
I didn't need it, it needed me
Like a villain, I couldn′t be
I didn't need it, it needed me
Move
I didn′t need it, it needed me


I don't wanna know all your secrets 'cause I′ll tell
It′s hard enough being alone with myself
I don't know how long I′ll be holding on
I know you tried your hardest, I know that you meant well
But you pushed me to the edge and I tripped, and I fell
I (don't know) how long I′ll be holding on
I didn't need it, it needed me
