The Lavender Project - The Villain Lyrics

I was holding soldiers as they fell into my arms
Working up the courage just to keep myself alarmed
And oh how I tried to understand the offering

I have merry, merry madness living deep within my bones
Working early mornings just to keep myself alone
And oh how I tried to understand what they had feared
And oh how I tried to become what they had once held dear

Wait, wait for me
Wait, I'm falling right into my head
Wait, wait for me
Wait, I'm trying all those things I said

I fool myself so easily
I barely know who's holding me
A fool, a selfish little thief
I keep myself just out of reach

I hang myself so easily
Then wonder why I cannot breathe
A fool, a selfish little thief
She's swaying lightly in the breeze

Stay calm
And open up your arms
Stay calm
You know not what you want
Stay calm
You ticking little bomb
Stay calm
You know not what you are
