ENVY

He's got me in a vice, you know
You don't have to search too hard to see
Everytime I breathe, he's squeezing
And I don't need to flaunt my flaws
To get the attention that I crave
And I don't need someone else's pity
To make me feel like I'm brave

Cause I know that it's all about power
And these secrets keep me in control
Cause everyday I decide how much
I'm going to let them poison my soul

I'm jealous that you hide, and people still listen
I'm jealous you have everything and make up what's missing
And I hate the fact that it's your ass that they're kissing
Yes, I know that I'm selfish, and petty, and sad
But I'm so envious of what you don't know you have

So fuck you and your doctor's note
Cause I don't need a degree to know when I'm sad
And I've earned my right to be where I am
And I have much more gone than you
I'm much more gone than you are

Steal my thunder
Steal my rage
Steal everything I've worked to contain
Oh, envy
I won't let you know
How much it hurts to be
Aware that even you are blind to me
