[Verse 1]
Look at you
Cape full of stains
Calling that justice?
I call it a game
I built this ruin
Brick by brick
You took a bow
I took the hit
You wear that halo
Like it means more
I know the truth
Behind your door
[Pre-Chorus]
I bled in silence
You preached in glass
Now here you stand
At the edge at last
[Chorus]
Self righteous hero
More like pitiful zero
Self righteous hero
You always play the savior
I break the vow
You break the fall
I own the night
I own it all
Self righteous hero
More like pitiful zero
[Verse 2]
You left me burning
Then asked for grace
Funny how mercy
Stays off your face
I learned the hard way
How crowns can crack
How every “good man”
Turns his back
So go on, tremble
Say your last prayer
I came for your world
And found you there
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept the scars
You kept the lies
Now watch your legend
Bleed out and die
[Chorus]
Self righteous hero
More like pitiful zero
Self righteous hero
You always play the savior
I break the vow
You break the fall
I own the night
I own it all
Self righteous hero
More like pitiful zero
[Bridge]
[Half-time shift]
You wanted a monster
I became one
You wanted a warning
Now watch it come
No clean ending
No mercy line
Just broken steel
And a blacked-out sky
[Final Chorus]
Self righteous hero
More like pitiful zero
Self righteous hero
Hear that crowd go feral
I break the vow
You break the fall
I burn your name
I burn it all
Self righteous hero
More like pitiful zero
[Outro]
Zero
Zero
Pitiful zero
