I was born a false prophet to a God with no love left to give
But second chances like candy on christmas
The taste too sweet for me to understand
A refined thing I lacked like glasses
I was a villain created to be proven wrong
And like any villain in a story, my death was written in the stars
The only truth in a maze of lies
A bargain with fate
But don't trust a word I say, darling
For I grew up in a gingerbread house
No hope to break the family curse
But the nightlight on my bed
Too bad it was shaped like a promise
What do you give a deadman who knows?
Nothing but peace
You didn’t understand that, though
Your hands gave and my hands never took
For they only knew how to cup gold from the sun
And darkness from the pools of my own dread
You still tried to force a knife into my hands
Strong enough to cut the silence I created
But how could I kill my own creation
I should ask you that, you would know
And so with my bed made and my grave dug
The dying man grins
For the stakes are too high and the bar set
But he has nothing to lose
Let me tell you a secret, darling
Even though a dead man knows
He still fears
He doesn’t fear death, no
He fears the darkness
Because the night light is flickering
And as fate weaves its thread
A villain comes closer to their destiny
But that is the way of life, my dear
He has nothing to lose, but he still lost it all
How ironic
