Evil Man.

I’m surprised you still talk to me.

You know what I am; an evil man.

An evil man.

All the times I toked and choked what you put up.

The cost was too much.

All the grey lines I walked and fences I sat on.

Leaving their permanent indentation.

All the acquaintances left behind, never knew em as friends; and that’s just fine.

They never set their sights on what’s inside of me.

Not that I would ever let them see.

But still they know what I am; an evil man.

An evil man.

Tried to say au revoir; but it’s still there ticking like a clock.

The heart pumping blood through this mess of a self-perpetuated martyr.

And I’ll try to shake this sadness off; even if it means the death of me.

Just don’t let it drag you down.

If you go lookin’; I’ll be around.

I’ll show my face in places I don’t belong; invading spaces with my song.

Making them uncomfortable by remaining alive; for a long long time.

Yeah, that’s the plan, I know what I am; an evil man.

An evil man.

All the times I cornered her in the hall; no escape from my love.

Unreciprocated; but couldn’t let her run.

Though I’m only one; and there were a few.

All the times I shilled my truth.

All the hearts I broke in my youth.

Everything I stole; took it’s toll.

It was never my goal to feign recompense owed.

Would rather shoot for the future; never break the sutures.

But here I am shoulder bleeding; stuck like a ham.

We all know who I am; an evil man.

An evil man.

All the times I toked and choked what you put up.

The cost was too much.

All the grey lines I walked and fences I sat on.

Leaving their permanent indentation.

All the acquaintances left behind, never knew em as friends; and that’s just fine.

They never set their sights on what’s inside of me.

Not that I would ever let them see.

Not that I would ever let them see.

Not that side of me.

Not that I would ever let them see.

Not that I would ever let them see!

Not that side of me.

This evil man.

An evil man.

An evil man!

This evil man. –Michael Kabu Ament
