I'VE BEEN EVIL

I've been evil ever since you left
Sweeping under rugs I didn't know I even had
Watching seasons change and me, the same, the same, the same
Counting visitors as the soles of boots indent floorboards
No successes, no digressions, none

A buddy brought a gun to work
Says he's gonna use it once
I wonder how close we are... and yet I also
Bye to my problems, bye
Goodbye to the void
Maybe it would be quick to cross the threshold

A splinter buried in a hole
A cavity you can't control
Someone is scratching at your skin, begging the house to buy you in
No self-control of which to speak
If one's for you, then two's for me

Incessant pawing at the sore
There's one for every time they sold you a lie
(Mortgage your tongue for a taste but don't get the filling)
You're tailing the blind
(You couldn't risk losing something you never had)
