Against Me
Mr. Evil Lyrics

At first there was a lie
Initially, everything started with deception.

But in the end we wont even try
Ultimately, we will not put in the effort to change our circumstances.

To tell the truth, so am I
I too am guilty of not being honest.

Leaving you just for a while
I am stepping away from you, even if temporarily.

Tell your Friends I'm leaving
Inform others about my decision to depart.

I run away from this feeling
I am escaping from the emotional turmoil I am experiencing.

But I am still breathing
Despite everything, I am still alive and enduring.

Now its you against me
We are now in opposition to one another.

You can say I am greedy
You might label me as selfish or wanting more.

I know, you don't need me
I acknowledge that my presence is no longer necessary for you.

It's the way they will see me
This is how others will perceive my character.

But its you against me
Yet, the conflict remains between us.

We just want to save ourself
Our primary desire is to protect ourselves.

We have to go this path
We feel compelled to follow this particular journey.

It brokes my heart in two
This situation deeply hurts me and causes emotional pain.

Now its me against you
The conflict has shifted to a personal struggle between us.

I wanted to safe myself
My intention was to find my own safety and solace.

Never thought of yourself
I failed to consider your needs and feelings.

You were the one in my life
You were the significant person in my existence.

It's me against me
Now, I find myself in an internal battle with my own thoughts.

Now we live this lie
Currently, we are existing within a facade of falsehood.

And we will never try
We have resigned ourselves to never making an effort to change.

To escape, so am I
I too have accepted that I cannot break free from this situation.

Facing the truth just for a while
I am momentarily confronting reality before retreating again.

Tell your Friends I'm leaving
Once more, please make it known that I'm departing.

I run away from this feeling
Again, I am fleeing from these overwhelming emotions.

But I am still breathing
Yet, I continue to survive despite the challenges.

Now its you against me
This dynamic has led us into direct opposition.

You can say I am greedy
Feel free to accuse me of being self-serving.

I know, you don't need me
I recognize that you are better off without me.

It's the way they will see me
This is the impression I will leave on others.

But its you against me
In the end, the conflict continues to pit us against one another.

We just want to save ourself
We are driven by a desire for self-preservation.

We have to go this path
We must follow the course that has been set for us.

It brokes my heart in two
This reality tears at my emotional core.

Now its me against you
Once again, the conflict is now a personal confrontation.

I wanted to safe myself
My goal was to find my own protection.

Never thought of yourself
I was blinded to your needs in my pursuit.

You were the one in my life
You occupied the most important role in my existence.

It's me against me
Ultimately, I am left to grapple with my own inner conflicts.
