Lyrics

(The) Demon

[Intro]

I can't justify any of this

I am lonely and collared and pissed

I'm a rat in a cage

I'm a demon filled up with hubris and bullshit and shame

Oh

[Verse]

I am drunk, I am ugly

I am worse than you think that I am

You could be my savior, baby

But baby, I don't give a damn

[Chorus]

I am the dying, I am the plague

I am the sum of this mess I have made

I am the garbage can, I am the trash

I am this cautionary tale you can have

[Bridge]

If I came into this shit all alone

Then I'll rock that same program when it's time to go

[Chorus]

I am the demon, I am the hell

Get the fuck out of here, fend for yourself

I am the demon, I am the hell

Get the fuck out of here, fend for yourself

Oh, but know, oh

[Outro]

I am the demon

I am the demon

I am the demon

I am the demon

I am the demon

I am the demon

I am the demon

I, I am the demon
