Overtake You

Every time you see your reflection
I hope you'll see your own infection.
Underneath the masks, you know I'm there
Something we both know you can't bear.

Why must I always be the villain, and you the hero?
We both know that you're nothing but a zero.
Why must you put on such foolish acts?
We both know they'll soon find the facts.

You tell me to go away, but you know I won't stray.
Of course it's a lie, without me you would surely die.
If you want to feel real hate, then I'll show you the way:
The path that only shows clearly on your darkest day.

When is it my turn to take the spotlight?
We both know you'll lose this fight.
So just give up now and take a bow.

You're the bird in the cage.
And I'm the hate that will never fade.
And when I'm the strings that make the call:
It'll be my turn to watch you fall!

And after all the struggle, I have the spotlight!
But I'll soon make it the blackest night!
Now you're the puppet and I'm the strings!
So how high can you fly with broken wings?
