Envy

[Intro:][Soft Intro, Ominous Drone, Acoustic Guitar] [instrumental – sparse, eerie plucking, low string hum] [Verse 1:][Female Vocal, Cold Whisper] I watch you smile like a thief in light Taking what I wanted, making it look right Your golden laugh, your perfect skin I wear my hate beneath my grin [Pre-Chorus:][Vulnerable Vocals, Melancholic Strings] I bite my tongue, but it tastes like rust Every glance at you feels like dust [Chorus:][Emotional Swell, Sharp Strings, Bitter Delivery] Envy’s a seed, and it’s growing fast Watered by mirrors and things I can’t grasp You shine too bright, you take too much And I’m left aching in your untouched hush [Post-Chorus:][Echo/Delay, Whisper Layering] I never asked for fair But why do you get air? [Verse 2:][Rawer Voice, Dark Guitar Rhythm] You float through rooms like you belong I cling to walls and choke on songs Your wins cut deeper than your lies And still, I stare with hollow eyes [Pre-Chorus:][Gritty Harmonics, Breathing] You never see me—but I’m always there In your shadows, behind your stare [Chorus:][Aggressive Female Vocal, Intense Percussion] Envy’s a fire and I feed the flame You walk in gold while I choke your name You never fall, you never break While I unravel in my quiet ache [Bridge:][Emotional Bridge, Spoken Word into Shout] It’s not your fault—still, I resent The ease, the praise, the compliments But if I could trade, would I even dare? To wear your mask and still not care? [Break:][Percussion Break, Whisper and Grit] [Spoken:] I’m not proud—but I’m not pure You were the mirror, I was the blur [Hook:][Catchy Hook, Growling Vocal Layering] I see your smile and I rot inside You breathe success—I choke on pride Don’t look at me like I’m okay I dream of being you… and it eats me away [Chorus:][Final Chorus, Full Instrumentation, Fierce Vocals] Envy’s my poison and my crown I wear it sharp—I wear it proud You shine, I fade—that’s how it’s been But I’ll haunt your dreams with the rage within [Fade Out:][Melancholic Strings, Soft Whisper] [Whisper:] You live in light... and I am the dark.
