Villain in the Mirror

[Verse] Why do you keep torturing yourself Knowing how it will all end But you still do it Even though you know you'll bend [Verse 2] I never wanted to be this role But here I am once more No matter what I try I'm the villain they portray [Chorus] Please just comfort me in dreams Help me break these lonely schemes Touch my heart while I sleep In the silence Let me weep [Verse 3] Every day feels just the same Caught up in my twisted game Yet I try to break these chains But I'm lost and can't explain [Verse 4] Echoes of the past remain Haunting me like falling rain I've become what I disdain A villain wrapped in pain [Bridge] Oh In the dark Shadows play Painting me in shades of gray But in dreams Let hope convey That I'll find a better way
