Lyrics

EVIL
I am evil go ahead and put me down
I am not an righteous man
I see whats right I also see what's wrong
A layman in my masters plan
My soul is dark but sometimes I see light
Power in this world abounds
To never deny what it is I feel inside
And answer to myself or fall

Chorus
Truth is power so sometimes I do lie
Pain is anger and I surely do cry
Life will end someday in this I will not deny
That I am evil and in it I do try

Bridge
Man on a pedistal says he found the way
To solve all my problems but they build inside me everyday
Searching for the answer but I already know the truth
Stand up don't deny it this is what I need to do

When I was young I did my best just to belong
To what they say is real
Buying a game I'd be a sheep that's lead astray
Denying what I feel
I'm older now dust off my heals and pat my brow
I'm a man and not a boy
Responsiblity for what I say and what I see
For in this I am so free
