I am your demon, you have made me what you're most afraid to meet
Careful cultivation of your hate for me has made my change complete
We are alike, you know, you recognise yourself in what I am
We are alike you know, my transformation you yourself began;
I am your demon - you have to hate me
I am your handiwork - see how well you made me
I am your mirror, I'm what you dream on
I am your beast, I am your bane, I am your demon
I am your demon
And do you always look behind to make sure I'm not at your heel?
And when you see me smiling at you, girl, how does that make you feel?
I've much to thank you for, and courtesy demands I make that clear
I've much to thank you for, I'm glad you hold my memories so dear;
I am your demon - you have to hate me
I am your handiwork - see how well you made me
I am your mirror, I'm what you dream on
I am your beast, I am your bane, I am your demon
I'm just your demon, from your own choosing
I am your rival, girl, and seems to me you're losing
I am indifferent to your small raging
I'm not the source, I'm not the reason for your caging
I'm just your demon, I am your demon, I am your demon
I am your demon, I am your demon, your private demon!
