Jealousy (Rot From Within)

[Instrumental] [0:00] [heavy rainfall, distant thunder rumble] [0:05] [loud thunder clap, long decay] [0:12] [sustained rain noise] [0:20] [low-frequency thunder roll] [INTRO] Jealousy is a complex, often involuntary emotional reaction… Driven by fear… insecurity… and low self-esteem. A perceived threat… The fear of losing something… or someone… To a rival. Core emotional states include… Fear of abandonment… Anger… Envy… Insecurity… Inadequacy… —system overload— [DROP] IT TAKES—SO MUCH—JUST TO HATE LIKE THIS!! [VERSE 1] It’s never just one thing, it’s a nest full of knives, Anger in your chest while fear runs your life. Envy in your throat, you can’t swallow your pride, Insecurity whispering you’re not enough inside. How low do you go just to feel like you matter? How much do you break just to quiet the chatter? You tear people down just to build yourself taller— But the mirror don’t lie, you just look even smaller. [PRE-CHORUS] We must love the fall… To let this take control… You let it in… you fed it… you became it… [CHORUS] JEALOUSY—IS A POISON IN YOUR VEINS! ROTS YOUR MIND—JUST TO NUMB THE PAIN! You gave it power… you gave it breath… Now it lives inside your chest… STILLS YOUR HEART—TURNS LOVE TO RUST! CRUSHES YOUR SOUL—INTO DUST! [VERSE 2] You obsess, compress, every thought into stress, Second-guess every text like you’re under arrest. You compare, you despair, like it’s something you wear, Like your worth’s tied to eyes that were never even there. No one’s worth this weight, this pressure, this ache, This mental decay for a bond that might break. You built a cage out of doubt and despair, Locked yourself in, now you’re gasping for air. It’s not them… it’s you… [BREAKDOWN] HOW MUCH—DO YOU—TEAR DOWN… TO FEEL—ANYTHING—AT ALL?! LET—IT—GO! LET—IT—GO! OR WATCH IT—EAT YOU—ALIVE!! [CHORUS] JEALOUSY—A PARASITE IN DISGUISE! FEEDS ON YOUR WEAKNESS—THEN IT MULTIPLIES! You could’ve let it die… But you kept it alive… NO ONE’S WORTH—THIS PAIN YOU HOLD! YOU SOLD YOUR PEACE—FOR FOOL’S GOLD! [OUTRO] It was never them… They were never the threat… …just me… rotting… from within… Letting chaos win…
