Unnecessary Evil

I burn slow
I feel so cold inside
Near paralyzed

This frame groans
This rage grows
Glows inside
Bright alive

But even as I'm standing here now
It's like I'm not of this time
And even as you sit by my side
I know we're not of one mind

I guess the less that's said the better
I feel afraid I'll lose control
Of this unnecessary evil
That rots my soul

I feel old
I've grown so cold
With time
Behind my eyes

But the truth still shows
Even when it's twisted in riddles
Still, what's wrong is wrong

But even as I'm dwelling here now
It's like not of this world
And even having seen with my eyes
As I watched it unfurl

Into this storm I've waded
And sink as quick as time
Out from this night I've waited
For something bright to shine

I guess the less that's said the better
'Cause you're afraid I'll lose control
And this unnecessary evil
Might eat you whole

How does it feel
Knowing that we're spinning in circles of lies?
And how does it feel
Knowing that your silence is hurtful?
When it's wrong say it's wrong

And even as I'm standing my ground
After all I have heard, no, no
And even as I've bitten my tongue,
I've never swallowed my words

Into this storm I've waded
And sink as quick as time
Out from this night I've waited
For something bright to shine
