Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – slow piano, echoing heartbeat, storm in the distance] I used to blame the darkness... Said it followed me. But I lit every match… And I danced in debris. --- [Verse 1 – soft-spoken, bitter tone] I made a monster just to feel less weak, Gave it horns, gave it rage, gave it my name in Greek. Told the world it haunted me — But it was just my shadow… Begging to be seen. I sharpened lies into lullabies, Wrapped guilt in lullabies. Each step I took to heal Was just another mask to hide behind. --- [Pre-Chorus – slow build] Don’t look for the devil in the corners of my room, He’s right here, in the mirror, Wearing my perfume. --- [Chorus – screaming then whispering, dynamic] I am the devil I fought, The flame that never forgot. I wasn’t dragged into hell— I bought the matchbox and sold the plot. Don’t save me now, Don’t cry or pray— I burned my bridges Then called it fate. --- [Verse 2 – sharper, angrier] I begged for mercy with blood on my hands, Stole peace, shattered hearts like glass. I screamed “they left me!” while I locked every door, Then cursed the silence for not coming back anymore. Every scream I called divine— Was just my voice… Lying through rhyme. --- [Bridge – distortion kicks in, nearly spoken] I danced with the devil? No. I was the rhythm. The scream. The sin. I didn’t follow him— He followed me in. You think this was punishment? No, this was choice. I kissed the fire Then drowned out my voice. --- [Chorus – louder, chaotic instruments] I am the devil I fought, Not possessed—just lost. I chose the pain, the scars, the fall, Built my empire out of loss. So don’t you dare write songs of grief, Don’t blame the world for what I unleashed. --- [Final Chorus – half-sung, breaking down] I am the villain in my own lore, I walked through every unlocked door. Tried to find heaven, but I ran when it called— Because angels can’t love what already crawled. --- [Outro – faint, trembling] I set the fire… And I stayed to burn. There was no devil. Just me… Waiting my turn. ---
