The Villain in Your Story

Yeah, you think you know me

But you don't know the half

I'm the glitch in your system

The shadow on your path

I'm the code you've overlooked

The cipher you can't decode

While you're basking in your glory

I'm bearing all the load

I'm the boss at the end of your level

The one you love to hate

But every time you swing that sword

You're sealing both our fates

You call yourself a hero

But you don't understand

I'm just clocking in and out

Following commands

You break down my defenses

Collect your XP points

But have you ever wondered Who keeps the score in these joints?

I'm the villain in your story

But I'm just playing my part

You keep coming for my glory

While I'm guarding my heart

You can try to tear me down

But I'll rise again anew

In this game of cat and mouse

I'm just the opposite of you

Pixels and code define our roles

But who's to say what's right?

You level up, I stand my ground

Day turns into night

You see a monster to be slain

I see a job to do

Behind the screen

We're not so different, Me and you

You reload, I respawn, The cycle never ends

But without this endless battle

Tell me, where's the fun, my friend?

I'm the villain in your story

But I'm just playing my part

You keep coming for my glory

While I'm guarding my heart

You can try to tear me down

But I'll rise again anew

In this game of cat and mouse

I'm just the opposite of you

Yeah, I'm the nemesis

Your arch-enemy

But ever wonder what it's like to be me? me!

Stuck in a loop, eternally bound

While you got infinite lives to go around

You respawn, I reset, But my purpose you forget

Without me, there's no quest

Just an empty silhouette

You think you're the protagonist

But take a look inside

Without a villain like me

Your greatness can't reside

Every story needs a conflict

Every game a final boss

But in this digital existence

Who's really at a loss?

You chase the thrill of victory

I embrace the role I play

But maybe in another life

We'd fight on the same side someday

I'm the villain in your story

But I'm just playing my part

You keep coming for my glory

While I'm guarding my heart

You can try to tear me down

But I'll rise again anew

In this game of cat and mouse

I'm just the opposite of you

So when the screen fades to black

And the credits start to roll

Remember who stood in your way

To make your journey whole

You can try to tear me down

But without me, who are you?

Just a hero without a purpose

In a game without a view

Till the next time that we meet

On a different battleground

Know that I'll be waiting here

To turn your world around

I'm the challenge that you seek

The hurdle you must climb

In this endless game we play

We're both partners in crime

So don't forget the villain

When you're writing down your tale

For without the dark and shadow

Your light would surely fail
