Evil Loves Me
By Raymond Livingston
Verse 1
Wide awake, one lid half cracked,
Mind run laps, can’t find the track.
Deep in the dark, where the silence screams,
Nightmares hit hard, splitin’ all my dreams.
They rip me up, piece by piece,
Ain’t no peace, just soul on lease.
Tryin’ to breathe when the air feel cheap,
Feelin’ buried in a grave too deep.
Need somethin’ to numb that ache,
Somethin’ to fake that faith I break.
Chorus
Evil loves me, hugs too tight,
Kisses my pain, feeds my fight.
Tried to run, but it found my street—
Ain’t no love like the love I meet when evil loves me.
Verse 2
People talk like they know my scars,
They don’t see how deep they are.
Stand back, scared they’ll catch my curse,
Watch me sink, just make it worse.
World so cold, don’t care, don’t share,
They stare, analyze, but don’t dare.
I’m just tryin’ to live fair, stay pure,
But pain got a pull that I can’t endure.
My beast inside still wants that war,
Every time I fight, it comes back more.
Chorus
Evil loves me, holds me close,
Knows my highs, craves my lows.
I lose control, but it lets me be,
Nothin’ loves me like the way evil loves me.
Verse 3
Walk that line, saint or sin,
Darkness out, but it creeps back in.
Light fades slow, I can barely see,
Guess I was made for the way it needs me.
Chorus
Evil loves me—yeah, it’s true,
Every lie, every wound I grew.
Try to fight, but it won’t set me free,
Evil don’t leave…
’Cause evil loves me.
Verse 4
Once again, here I am, one eye wide open,
Swimming deep in the dark—no rest, no motion.
Sleep won’t come, it hides from me,
The visions greet me violently.
In the place where peace should be found,
The shadows beat me, drag me down.
The demons tear me piece by piece—
I whisper to the night, “When will it cease?”
I reach for something, anything to breathe,
But the air feels heavy—I can barely see.
Chorus
Evil loves me, wraps me in chains,
Holds me close like it knows my pain.
I fight for light, but it won’t set me free,
No one loves me the way evil loves me.
Verse 5
People I’ve known, past, future, and now,
Say they understand, but they don’t know how.
They watch from afar, afraid to stand near,
Even their pity sounds hollow with fear.
Life ain’t fair; no one really shares,
They analyze my hurt like it’s theirs to compare.
I try to stay true, hold on to my belief,
But my beast breaks loose, brings twisted relief.
It’s the dark inside that won’t let go,
It feeds on pain I never show.
Chorus
Evil loves me, whispers my name,
Turns my sorrow into flame.
I keep running, but I’ll never flee—
Nothing loves me the way evil loves me.
Bridge
I walk this road between fire and grace,
Haunted by ghosts I can’t erase.
Every sin feels carved in stone,
But the darkness makes me feel less alone.
Final Chorus
Evil loves me—it knows what I’ve done,
Kisses my wounds, calls me its son.
The light keeps fading, but I can see,
Even in hell, evil loves me.
Evil loves me… yeah
