This Disease 05:00
On my skin Down my throat Through my lungs Don't you know All because you let me go House of cards Falls apart For a special kind of chemical Wind did blow I wasn't safe From the start But now I'm even more Fucking sick Than I was before This disease Is the gift you gave to me This Disease It began with an itch That spread over every inch Of my whole fucking body And I got so envious Of everyone that lives Without this specific Kind of suffering I'm going to give you something worse than this To deal with And you can call it something like The fucking reckoning This disease Is the gift you gave me

Everything I touch turns to shit No one really listened or pretended to be interested I tried my best but misfortune again and again Gets in the way of my personal development The origin of a villain begins With a descent that results in a bitterness It's a sickness of the head that wants to put an end To all that exists outside of its torment I want to burn down all that you adore I want you to know how this feels How does it feel I want to tear down all that you are I want you to know how this feels How does it feel Please don't suggest I've got a negative perspective With all due respect you haven't lived this You can't speak for or represent something For which you have no personal experience The origin of a villain begins With a misdiagnosis and a charlatan's medicine That only worsens the symptoms of an illness That was even present to begin with

Yes I've been crying in the rain Ashamed and disgraced by the pain I can't escape Yes I've been lost in the night Stumbling drunk through life And wishing for the end You can smile Even while You know you're just playing the part You can smile Even while You've got a crack going through your heart You can smile Even while They can all see that your falling apart You can smile Yes I've been embraced by misery Pitifully weeping myself to sleep For some peace Yes I've been weak and lonely Sorrowful and guilty Of thoughts I cannot speak

Not Sorry 05:10
Told me I'd never be happy no matter where I go I always say that I'm going to be good but you know that I won't That was then and this is now and how much has changed? I'm wearing this grin like a clown because I'm happy when I misbehave I've aways been on the wrong side of someone because I can't get anything right I might as well still play along since I'm so fucking good at being the bad guy I'm so happy tonight doing what I shouldn't be and I'm not sorry I'm so happy tonight and I don't need you to believe that I'm not sorry Now I'm always happy everywhere I go I'll never say that I'm going to be good because we all know that I won't I won't hide or try to pretend because I'm no longer ashamed I'll never wear a king's crown but just look at this grin on my face

Why was it so funny to you when I was so sad It made you so happy too to see me crying what did I ever do to you it must've been so bad There is only one thing I can do only one thing left I'll be the one who laughs When I kick you when you're down Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?

That's When 05:50
I feel you when you fail I hear you when you fall I know you when you are alone That's when I know you most of all You feel me when you fail You hear me when you fall You know me when you are alone That's when you know me most of all

You caught me at a strange time I can't deny it. I'm just trying to make them see it from the funny side You should try it! Do I look like the guy that would lie to you? The way I see things is You and I, we're not so different So listen You and I we are the same Tonight, dance with me above the flames And watch it burn Bad luck is the story of our lives Why should we hide it? When we can laugh at it from the inside! You should try it! Maybe we told them all the truth! When they weren't listening. It's not our fault that they didn't listen or pay attention.

about

The Origin Of A Villain is a demo home recorded concept album. It tells a fictional story that takes place in a fictional world. The story begins at the end of a long string of unfortunate, tragic and cruel events from which the protagonist has been left transformed into something akin to a comicbook supervillain. The songs deal with the memories, thoughts, feelings and the rapid degradation of the protagonist, who is accelerating towards the threshold most commonly referred to as the point of no return.
