[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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
