sometimes when you have to draw a boundary that makes you the bad guy. i guess that means we've entered our villain phase. you best believe we're not gonna skimp on it.

lyrics

04 villain

it’s only the heartless
that say, “eat your heart out kid!”
it’s the same old kind of dinosaur;
it’s the same old relics,
from the same old wars.
it’s the same old
s o r t of lie.

it’s not that kind of movie.
there’s more to it than you and me.
it’s not the same as
black and white nor
conveniently colorblind
kind of v i l l a i n y.

what do lions and tigers and bears care?
oh me, oh my, oh me!
you can dream of a world without nightmares;
it’ll only cost you some sleep.

and you’ll lie there awake until sunrise:
forgettin’ ‘bout countin’ sheep.
—you may be an angel,
but they’ll call you hateful.
what the hell. one. two. three.

birds don’t drink milk.
the truth hurts
& so do bees.
hey how’re you doin’?
hey—
don’t talk to me.

dreamin’ and waitin’
and breakin’ and brunchin’
and waitin’ and weepin’

for me.
