Forcing of the hand, a whisper in the ear
Spirit of enabling
Sinister command of what I want to hear
I'm the only one who pulls my strings

I'm the devil living in the pride
I'm the devil, no one's hands are tied
I'm the devil, damnation dignified
I'm the devil and it's only me inside

Why would you pretend your will is not your own
Claiming something pushed you there?
Don't mean to condescend but it's you and you alone
You're the architect of your despair

And I'm the devil living in the pride
I'm the devil, no one's hands are tied
I'm the devil, damnation dignified
I'm the devil and it's only me inside

I'm the devil living in the pride
I'm the devil, no one's hands are tied
I'm the devil, damnation dignified
I'm the devil and it's only me inside
I'm the devil, damnation dignified
I'm the devil and it's only me inside
