Vilified from Little Lion by Llennett
I think this song speaks for itself - this is for everyone who struggles to speak up for themselves, for those who have been put down, vilified, gaslit by people who they thought cared for them.
For the record - I don't think it's right to call someone crazy, but music is a creative outlet, it's sublimation. A way to divert negative energy into an art form. This song is a musical representation of how someone might rant about how they've been treated in the moment, that hot-headed anger in response to mistreatment.
This is a sort of sequel to "Villain" from "Battery Powered."

Lyrics
Feeling both anger and hurt,
This time around.
Anger and hurt in equal measure
Does nothing else bring you pleasure?
Did I deserve this?
Did you ever care?
No, I guess it doesn't matter now,
'Cause it feels so good,
To get you outta my hair, yeah!
Well, I've been vilified again,
For tryna be your friend,
How is it so hard to see,
The difference 'tween the fog and reality.
Vilified again,
For tryna be your friend,
How is it so hard to see,
You're fucking crazy!
How the FUCK do you think it's OK,
To talk to me this way?
How the FUCK do you think it's OK,
To talk to me this way?
How the FUCK do you think it's OK,
To talk to me this way?
How the FUCK do you think it's OK,
Do you think it's OK?
I see through your backhanded apologies,
Your lies, and your excuses.
Repeat your words in your mirror,
And see just how well they fit.
"The bully that plays the victim,"
"Someone who just won't listen!"
I wanna know - Did I deserve this?
Did you ever care?
No, I guess it doesn't matter now,
'Cause it feels so good,
Yes, it feels so good,
To get you outta my hair, yeah!
Well, I've been vilified again,
For tryna be your friend,
How is it so hard to see,
The difference 'tween the fog and reality.
Vilified again,
For tryna be your friend,
How is it so hard to see,
You're fucking crazy!
How the FUCK do you think it's OK,
To talk to me this way?
How the FUCK do you think it's OK,
To talk to me this way?
How the FUCK do you think it's OK,
To talk to me this way?
How the FUCK do you think it's OK,
Do you think it's OK?

A varied and bizarre taste in music has brought out the mad mix of different styles that created Llennett. After writing for years, doing things by ear has always felt like the natural way to do things. Since there's a difference from song to song, there should be something here for everyone.
