Evil Place Lyrics by Sam Barber
There’s a voice in the air, and it brings me to my knees
They say if I open up, then that voice will turn into God’s preach
Sure, I got faith for times it’s hard to believe
‘Cause I don’t want you if you don’t want me
It feels this love has lost its meaning
Would you take these weary hands and hold
Hold ’em till I don’t feel alone?
With every other wrong I’ve made
It’s led me to an evil place
Just like a word on the tip of my tongue
Right when I have you, you’re already gone
You told me once that you’d stick around
Once told me twice you couldn’t stand this town
Stopped going late ’cause drinking brought me to shame
Rock bottom on a floor without you, that wasn’t my aim
We spent so much fight on a burnt-out flame
Then you fled west on a midnight train
There ain’t a day I don’t wish that I wasn’t home
But my words have carried me farther than I wanna go
See, every last demon’s taking its toll
I’ve lost my mind, my heart, and soul
Would you take these weary hands and hold
Hold ’em till I don’t feel alone?
With every other wrong I’ve made
It’s led me to an evil place
Just like a word on the tip of my tongue
Right when I have you, you’re already gone
You told me once that you’d stick around
Once told me twice you couldn’t stand this town
Stand this town
