[Intro – Soft, Distant, Atmospheric] You look at me Like I already burned the world… Like I already chose the fire. But I’m still standing in the ashes Of things I never did. ⸻ [Verse 1] You painted horns above my head, With words you never truly said, Turned my silence into crime, Built a villain out of time. Every shadow on the wall, You swear you heard my darkness call, But I was only trying to breathe, Underneath what you believe. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] If I’m the monster in your mind, Then why am I the one confined? If I’m the chaos in your night, Why am I still begging for the light? ⸻ [Chorus – Emotional Explosion] I wish I was the demon you think I am, Cold as fire, heartless as sin, If I was truly made of flame, Maybe I wouldn’t feel this pain. I wish I was the darkness you see, So your words wouldn’t cut so deep, If I had nothing left to lose, I’d have no soul left to bruise. ⸻ [Verse 2 – More Intense] You sharpen whispers into blades, Turn my kindness into shades, Every flaw becomes a scar, You love me broken from afar. You say I thrive in twisted games, That I ignite emotional flames, But if I really fed on fear, Why am I still trembling here? ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2 – Rising Tension] If I’m the villain in your story, Where’s my power? Where’s my glory? If I’m the storm you’re running from, Why do I still feel so numb? ⸻ [Chorus – Bigger, Layered] I wish I was the demon you think I am, Sharp and ruthless, never weak, If I was carved from stone and smoke, Maybe your words would never choke. I wish I had no heart to break, No fragile pulse for you to shake, If I was truly born in flame, I’d never feel the weight of blame. ⸻ [Bridge – Beat Drop / Whispered] Maybe I should grow the horns… Maybe I should wear the crown… If you need a monster so badly— I can burn it all down. But I don’t want to be your fear, I don’t want to disappear, I just wanted you to see… The human underneath me. ⸻ [Final Chorus – Raw / Emotional] I wish I was the demon you think I am, So I wouldn’t cry when you condemn, If I was built from hate and lies, I wouldn’t bleed behind my eyes. But I’m still flesh and still afraid, Still breaking from the roles you made, If I was truly what you claim— I wouldn’t hurt this way.

I Wish I Was the Demon You Think I Am
