'Evil' is a story about a man unknowingly slowly seduced by evil, but luckily he was able to figure out what was happening before it was too late.

The story of this song was inspired by a real life person. There was a chick I thought was really into me just ended up being pretty much a whore and played me. I took the situation, embellished it a little and put a religious spin on it.
Evil can lurk in the most innocent place
Behind the smile or in the arms of a warm embrace
I never knew such evil could exist in you
Caught up in your deceit, I admit you were my defeat

I had heard you weren't the savior you appeared to be
But I didn't listen, my thoughts filled with your prophecies
I couldn't believe it was I who was being blessed
Little did I know, I was just being possessed

You sewed my eyes shut so I couldn't see
You filled my brain with sadistic blasphemy
You nailed down my wrists and I never noticed
I was crucified
And I would have died 
To keep you satisfied

You were turning me to darkness and I must admit
I was fucking with evil, and I was ready to submit
I was on my knees prepared to accept this faith
But then I sensed something impure and it made me so unsure

I didn't want to do it, but you left me no choice
My instincts warned of the malice behind your voice
I didn't want to believe it as I peeled back your skin, I saw the evil within
My souls' been exercised
This evil's released
My torment has ceased
