If Adam asked me, to please come take a bite
I don’t think I would much mind
I think I would sink my teeth in that juicy apple flesh
and enjoy the nectar running down my face
what I don’t think is that, I would have done it
without a thirst for answers knowledge and power
and the repercussions of my Father,
could fall freely around me and into my arms
see, when the snake of my God chose to be
wrapped around my tongue,
when he sunk his venom into my veins
I don’t think I paid much mind,
I just wanted a place amongst the vines
I welcome evil, I would swallow it whole
swallow it deep into my underbelly
to heavens, to hell, and I am in between
I do not mind being here,
even though you assume I have plagued myself
I find your heaven less valuable than that apple bite
that tainted sweet snake to the mouth fright
there is value in experience, and beauty in pain
call the bite sin but I call it the nature that
courses inside of my very human insides
that You created
Adam can cower and pretend,
I find that natural of him
throw your sin onto me, for I am Eve-il
tell me I have cursed your kind,
battered and beaten and filled with sin
we are Impure at Birth, we are Impure on Earth
but I chose to be tainted, I sunk my teeth deep
and then deeper in, swallowed whole your
blame hate and your prejudice
but I did it to quench my insane thirst
for answers knowledge and power
Adam, what did you do? but take it from my hand
without thought or question
not out of bravery but out of pure lack of anything
and then cower when our Father frowned
I sew your blame into my skin and wear it proud
and I will lay in the vines with snakes entwined
with sin in my skin and red juicy flesh in my teeth
I am smart, I am powerful, and I know, I am Eve-il,
I am you, I am human, and I am beautiful
