Evil
Eldest 11 Lyrics

One day you'll learn, sometimes you've got to be hard.
There are situations where you have to be tough to face the problems.

and don't cry in front of me because I can't stand it at all.
I hate to see people crying in front of me because it hurts me seeing them in pain.

You want to be straight? I use to be free. I use to love the world.
If you want to be like me, keep in mind that once I was free and loved the world.

I use to hold my own until they blinded me.
Until I was blinded by society, I used to have my own opinion and stand firm in it.

Like an animal in a box, they covered my holes.
I feel like an animal trapped in a cage, where they don't let me express myself and be who I am.

and I squirmed until I couldn't breathe at all.
I tried to break free, but it only made me suffocate and feel hopeless.

Got to love the lack of oxygen! They killed my soul...
The lack of freedom and air killed my spirit and made me feel dead inside.

and I become like you, so fuck you all!
Eventually, I gave up trying to be myself and became what they wanted me to be, and now I resent them all.

You will be like me in the end!
If you don't stand up for yourself, you'll end up becoming just like me, hopeless and lost.

If I could bring her back, I would... Cause ain't nothing left but the scars, where my angel stood.
I wish I could bring back the part of me that was pure and good, but all that's left now are the scars that remind me of what I've lost.

(My innocence is gone. My innocence is gone.)
I've lost my innocence, and I can never get it back.

Cause that little boy, got raised up in the rain like no one should.
I grew up in a world that was harsh and unforgiving, and it's not how anyone should have to live.

Sometimes you got to be hard. Sometimes you got to act strange.
Sometimes, being tough and acting differently than others is the only way to survive.

I got so sick and tired of people telling me,
I became fed up with everyone always telling me what to do and how to be.

"Things are beautiful because they don't last long!"
People would always say that beautiful things are fleeting and shouldn't be prized, which I disagree with.

"That in the end, I'll eventually fall."
People would predict that eventually, everything in life would lead me to fall and fail.

and they'll laugh at you, put their fingers at you...
When you do fail or struggle, people will laugh and ridicule you, making you feel worse.

Kick you down because you can't get up all!
They'll kick you when you're down and make it harder for you to get back up.

Nothing left...
There's nothing left for me, and I'm lost in this cruel world.
