super villain in love

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - dark clean guitar, steady toms, brooding male vocal]
I built my throne on a mountain of ash
Wore a crown of thunder, a heart made of glass
Every city I touched turned to smoke in the rain
I was a name carved in fear, a shadow in flame

Then you walked in like the end of my war
Soft as a prayer, but you shook me to the core
You looked at the monster and didn’t look away
Now my hands don’t feel like they were made to betray

[Pre-Chorus - rising drums, gritty harmonies, tension building]
And I’ve broken the world for a lot less than this
But one touch from you hits harder than fists
I can hear the alarms in the back of my mind
Still I’m falling, still I’m falling behind

[Chorus - explosive guitars, pounding drums, anthemic gang vocals]
I’m a supervillain in love
With a light I was never worthy of
You’re the spark in the black, the crack in my wall
The one thing I can’t destroy at all
Yeah, I’m a supervillain in love
And it hurts like heaven, cuts like a glove
I could burn every hero, rule every street
But I’d trade it all just to get you to speak to me

[Verse 2 - heavier distortion, driving bass, darker vocal edge]
I keep my secrets in a vault full of scars
Under neon confession and a sky full of stars
My evil has style, my mercy is rare
But you see through the smoke like you already care
And I hate how my empire starts trembling when
You say my name like you don’t know the end
Of a man who’s been built from the ruins of pain
Still I’d kneel in the fire if you called me by name

[Pre-Chorus - drums climbing, layered vocals, urgent pulse]
I’ve got plans for the world, got a mask and a knife
But you made a soft place in the wreck of my life
Every evil I’ve done feels smaller tonight
When your eyes pull me closer to the edge of the light

[Chorus - full band, soaring lead, stacked harmonies]
I’m a supervillain in love
With a light I was never worthy of
You’re the spark in the black, the crack in my wall
The one thing I can’t destroy at all
Yeah, I’m a supervillain in love
And it hurts like heaven, cuts like a glove
I could burn every hero, rule every street
But I’d trade it all just to get you to speak to me

[Bridge - stripped back, half-time drums, trembling vocal, atmospheric leads]
If I surrender, do I disappear?
If I tell the truth, will you still be here?
I don’t need a crown if I can’t share the night
I don’t want the world if you’re not in my life
So take my hand, or take my name
I’d rather be broken than stay the same
Let the whole damn city watch me fall
If love is my weakness, then I’ll give it all

[Final Chorus - massive guitars, soaring harmonies, cathartic, final lift]
I’m a supervillain in love
With a light I was never worthy of
You’re the spark in the black, the crack in my wall
The one thing I can’t destroy at all
Yeah, I’m a supervillain in love
And I’m done pretending I don’t want enough
If I can’t be your hero, let me be true
I’d burn down my kingdom just to stand here with you

[Outro - fading feedback, distant drums, echoing vocal]
Supervillain in love...
Yeah, I’m a villain in love...
And I’d save the world for you
