Existing In A Crisis (Evelyn) Lyrics
I'm so tired of the stupid games you play
If I sat outside would you come watch me wait?
If I had a gun and shot it at your face
Would you promise not to get out of the way?
If you happen to be able to avoid
My first attack I'll put a knife against your throat
and cut an inch for every time I lost my self-control
When you made me do the things I did at night when I got home
But I thought you'd change, I realize that today (Today)
(Evelyn) (I know you lied) I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm beggin you to leave here now, beggin you to stay away from me,
(I know you lied) I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm beggin you to leave me now, beggin you to die painfully (to die painfully)
This brings us to the backup of my plan,
Maybe I'll just have to strangle you with my bare hands,
Then you'll have to adhere to my demands,
And occupy a shallow grave, as shallow as you are
But I thought they'd change, and things just stay the same,
(Evelyn) (I know you lied) I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm beggin you to leave here now, beggin you to stay away from me,
(I know you lied) I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm beggin you to leave me now, beggin you to die
Sometimes intent leads, leads to stagnance,
and stagnance, leads to contempt, comtempt leads to,
the present
But I thought you'd change, I realize that today(Today)
(Evelyn) (I know you lied) I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm beggin you to leave here now, beggin you to stay away from me,
(I know you lied) I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm beggin you to leave me now, beggin you to die painfully
(Evelyn) (I know you lied) I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm beggin you to leave here now, beggin you to stay away from me
If I sat outside would you come watch me wait?
If I had a gun and shot it at your face
Would you promise not to get out of the way?
If you happen to be able to avoid
My first attack I'll put a knife against your throat
and cut an inch for every time I lost my self-control
When you made me do the things I did at night when I got home
(Evelyn) (I know you lied) I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm beggin you to leave here now, beggin you to stay away from me,
(I know you lied) I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm beggin you to leave me now, beggin you to die painfully (to die painfully)
Maybe I'll just have to strangle you with my bare hands,
Then you'll have to adhere to my demands,
And occupy a shallow grave, as shallow as you are
(Evelyn) (I know you lied) I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm beggin you to leave here now, beggin you to stay away from me,
(I know you lied) I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm beggin you to leave me now, beggin you to die
and stagnance, leads to contempt, comtempt leads to,
the present
(Evelyn) (I know you lied) I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm beggin you to leave here now, beggin you to stay away from me,
(I know you lied) I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm beggin you to leave me now, beggin you to die painfully
and I'm beggin you to leave here now, beggin you to stay away from me

im pretty sure this song is about the end of a relationship in which the girl got famous for being "the girl that bayside wrote all thier songs about"
This could be one of their greatest songs. No, wait, it is one of their best
These guys write some incredible songs, this being one of them. They always put a really dark spiteful spin on things which is what I really love about them.
i totally agree with insomnatic meat. everything they sing is simply depressing but desiring.
i love this song only thing is my name is evelyn so its also kinda sad :( but still a great song :)
I'll use the same line twice... I wouldn't know the guy from Bayside if he kicked me in the balls, let alone recognize his girlfriend. How do you get fame from becoming the guy from Bayside's girlfriend!?!
i think this song is about getting back at someone who used you for sex
idk, but its one of my favs by them. i love the first verse the most, too
Foundation4life, he's not saying this girl is like a world famous celebrity, he's just saying he gave her a name in their circle. Her relationship with him "put her on the map".
"And occupy a shallow grave, as shallow as you are" Best line in this song. There's also something about the way his voice sounds in this verse, that's just so full of emotion.
If I had a gun and shot it at your face Would you promise not to get out of the way? If you happen to be able to avoid My first attack I'll put a knife against your throat and cut an inch for every time I lost my self-control
my favorite part of the song, my favorite bayside song
personally, i think this song is about a girl that cheated on a guy, and it kills him. he wants absoluley nothign to do with her. "(Evelyn) (I know you lied) I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time and I'm beggin you to leave here now, beggin you to stay away from me " i think the part where he is talking about being he means that how he feels now that he knows the truth and he doenst have to worry about her. Thats what i believe personally.
