Lyrics
Existing In A Crisis (Evelyn)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm so tired of the stupid games you play.
If I sat outside would you come watch me wait?
If I had a gun and shot it at your face,
would you promise not to get out of the way?
If you happen to be able to avoid
My first attack, I'll put a knife against your throat
and cut an inch for every time I lost my self-control
and you made me do the things I did at night when I got home
But I thought you'd change, but I realize that today, today
Evelyn, I know you lied. But I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm begging you to leave here now. I'm begging you to stay away from me.
I know you lied. I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm begging you to leave here now. I'm begging you to die painfully.
Oh, painfully...
So this brings us to the backup of my plan.
Maybe I'll just have to strangle you with my bare hands.
Then you'll have to adhere to my demands
and occupy a shallow grave, as shallow as you are.
But I thought they'd change but things just stayed the same, the same
Evelyn, I know you lied. But I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm begging you to leave here now. I'm begging you to stay away from me.
I know you lied. But I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm begging you to leave here now. I'm begging you to die...
Sometimes content leads, leads to stagnant and stagnant leads to contempt.
Contempt leads to the present.

But I thought you'd change, but things just stayed the same, the same
Evelyn, I know you lied. But I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm begging you to leave here now. I'm begging you to stay away from me.
I know you lied. But I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm begging you to leave here now. I'm begging you to die...
Evelyn, I know you lied. But I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm begging you to leave here now. I'm begging you to stay away from me.
I know you lied. But I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm begging you to leave here now. I'm begging you to stay away from me.
