Scapegoat Wax - Evelyn lyrics

I want you all to celebrate

I had to shed my beat-up skin

I’ve been waiting for this day

I choose my weapon and begin

I had to get out of here for my Evelyn (my Evelyn)

Seems like forever (uh-huh) I’ve been struggling with rhymes

I can’t pretend that it don’t affect me

Check me, in the darkest pitch of night

Ooh, it keeps me up, I say my goodbye

I can’t guess how many (no no no)

Will claim that they knew me so well

Seems like I’ve been here, stayed here, right here

But there’s no way for me to tell

Ooh, I heard the familiar word, my goodbye

I want you all to have a drink

It was nothing that you said

I had all kinds of time to think

My heart convinced my empty head

I had to get out of here for my Evelyn (my Evelyn)

Can’t live my life as a blurry mirage

Thought barrage made my head a psychological garage

And she’s out there, I love her to death

The deepest breath ain’t deep enough to see the thoughts that she can put in my head

Mental exposure, things I said at 2 a.m.

I know it’s over

I know my brother loved his homey Ben

So your turn, man, this I let you flow on one more beat

I make it shine and I’ll see you when I live on your street

This is my path now

I had to split town and do it fast now

I passed out and woke up with a whole new rationale

I kept it to myself, you couldn’t accept it

So I left it alone and let it roll on my records

These are the airwaves of Evelyn

See, everything ends

It just takes a little longer

Don’t forget I’m your friend

And I’ll remember everything live

I’m no pretender

I know she’s getting every single message that I send her

I want you all to celebrate

I had to shed my beat-up skin

I’ve been waiting for this day

I choose my weapon and begin

I had to get out of here for my Evelyn (my Evelyn)

It seems like forever (oo-oo-ooh)

I’ve had trouble on my soul

I made a promise this time to let my words speak

Let them take control

Ooh, I don’t want to starve no more

My goodbye

I want you all to have a drink

It was nothing that you said

I had all kinds of time to think

My heart convinced my empty head

I had to get out of here for my Evelyn (my Evelyn)
