Everything That’s Evil Songtext
von Knifeplay

He′s got a son that doesn't know if he′s alive
He's got an honest job in town chokin on pride
Spends all of his tip money on beer
But his next albums gonna be the one that gets him outta here

She had the biggest smile that I had ever seen
Her daddy hit the road when she was just a preteen
She brought kitty cats and some seedy people home
Couldn't stand to see a helpless thing at night alone
Couldn′t stand to see a helpless thing go cold


They′d be yelling in that room all god damn day
And it hurt so bad when there was nothin that I could say
I heard that nowadays they're livin like they′re dead
Used to hear it in the vents when they'd beat each other up in bed
And its the weight of the past boiling in their heads
Cause everything that′s evil just comes back again
Yes everything that's evil will come back again

He gets quiet when he thinks about his life
How he′s still starving with a woman he ain't ready to call his wife
And I think I know how bad she wants to quit
But he's got an artists charm and an alcoholic wit
They did their best to make you feel like you belonged
Hell, half the friends they lost used to call her mom
He promised her he′d change when she asked
But tomorrows cigarette is always gonna be the last
Yes tomorrows cigarette is always gonna be the last

And I guess I′m just not angry anymore
I stopped talkin to them but I don't know what for
I heard that nowadays they′re livin like there dead
And they're the only thing I think that they got left


Now the weight of the past is boiling in my head
Cause everything that′s evil just comes back again
Yes everything that's evil will come back again
