your eyes are evil so look away

hey kid, what are you lookin’ at.
how’d you get so evil so fast.
where’s your mom, where’s your dad.
what did they teach you.
did they touch you.

I can’t believe this happened to you.
I promise it’s not supposed to be this way.
but you have no right to repeat the same.
she’s not yours this ain’t a game.

step back, watch where your hands go.
they might come back to haunt you.
it might do you good to cut ’em off.
better that than to rip her off.

you’re a thief, an abomination.
lucky for you I’m no assassin.
I love her, you distorted her view.
God help me not to distort you.

so let’s just say you’re blessed.
blessed that I never met you.

hey you, son of a preacher man.
I got some words for you.
repent.
for the kingdom of heaven is near.

you stole something that you can’t give back
from the one I love.
and now she’s forced to pray daily,
to fight against your flashbacks.

so let’s just say you’re blessed.
blessed that I never met you.

hey you, you better take your eyes off of her.
your eyes are evil so look away.
I’m warning you there’ll be hell to pay.
hell to pay.

little girl don’t you cry.
this boy can’t steal what’s inside.
let my Father hold you up
heal the thoughts that make you throw up.

I know this life has been hard on you.
but the next will never end.
only thing I know to do
is to ask my Father to heal you.

no soap will ever scrub away
the memories, the memories.

I’m sorry, sorry.
little girl don’t you cry.
you’re beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
I love you, I love you.

Father heal us.
won’t you hear us.
show us your mercy forever.
I love you, I love you.
