Envy
Green-Eyed Echoes: Armored Saint's Envy Unveiled
Lyrics
I see you hand in hand with my worst enemy
I observe you in a romantic relationship with someone I strongly dislike.
I can't show the anger that I feel or the jealousy
I am unable to express the anger or jealousy I feel about the situation.
About all I can do is watch
All I can do is watch the events unfold.
And wish that he hadn't caught
I regret that the person you are with now managed to capture what I almost had.
What I had my hands almost on
I had a grasp on the situation, but now it's lost.
But now I'm so far gone
I am emotionally distant and detached.
Envy I feel, envy I feel, envy I feel
I experience intense feelings of envy repeatedly.
I could end things really quick
I contemplate a swift and violent resolution.
With a bullet right to his head
Consideration of using lethal force on the person I resent.
But she was the one who left me
The person I am jealous of is also the one who left me.
So I should get you both instead
Contemplating harm to both you and the person you are with.
But would I really be glad
Questioning whether causing harm would truly bring satisfaction.
To know I gave her the sack
Weighing the consequences of ending the relationship and facing a lifetime in prison.
And be in prison for life
Considering the severity of consequences for impulsive actions.
Over foolish spite
Rejecting the idea of taking drastic actions due to foolish resentment.
Envy I feel, envy I feel, envy I feel no
I continue to experience envy, but I resist acting on it.
Envy I feel, envy I feel, envy I feel
Repeating the persistence of envy, but still avoiding destructive actions.
It's a waste-envy I feel
Feeling that experiencing envy is a futile waste of emotions.
To live with such haste-envy I feel
Expressing the urgency of living with such envy.
For just a pretty face-envy I feel no more
Realizing that the envy is centered around a superficial aspect (a pretty face) and deciding to let go of it.
