you're an actor for an actor
a performer for performers
something you do, i do

you get me there to help you out
you're calling and coming back around
something you do, i do

and all this time, resting on your laurels
will all be for naught
are you seeing all those flashing lights?

i'm an actor for an actor
a performer for performers
something you do, i do
counting verses we're the same
show in my?
weaponise your happiness

and all this time, pushing on the new front
trading places on the stages
losing with the flamers
expect us to be one of them
i've turned into the villain

this is how you become
this is how you become
the villain

this is how you become
this is how you become
the villain

an actor for an actor
a cold shapeshifter
something you do, i do
you get me there to help you
you call up coming back around
something you do, i do

you saw your time to paint yourself the victim
straighten out your branding
and bury the connections
break us and you'll bless us
fake it?
i've turned into the villain

this is how you become
this is how you become
the villain

this is how you become
this is how you become
the villain

the villain

i don't mean to make it sound x5
but i do
