Lyrics for Today I Was An Evil One

Tonight my eyes were hurting much As I had strained them all day long I don't remember waking up My memory is not that strong The day was spent walking about And asking questions blindly And silently and not without A sense of lapsing dignity Today I was an evil one Who suffered dumbly having fun Tomorrow god will make me good If I allow her to, she would I was found again in need And mostly unprotected As I had spent good time with greed And giving was rejected Today I was an evil one Who suffered dumbly having fun Tomorrow god will make me good If I allow her to, she would The skin of all my fingers split Painfully receding My hands were dry and itched and hurt And also they were bleeding I can fix it by withdrawing Claim from false completeness And by humboly allowing God to grant me sweetness
