*Intro: Distorted guitar riff, aggressive drumming, & a hint of tension* In the shadows, a beast awakens A primal force, that feeds on the heart's dark reckonings Envy's flame, it burns and it spreads A toxic grip, that consumes the soul's threads *Verse 1:* I see the world, through a lens of disdain Another's success, is my heart's pain Their smiles, their laughter, it's a personal affront A constant reminder, of what I don't have, what I'm not *Pre-Chorus:* Can't escape the grip, of this toxic hold A poison in my veins, that's turning me cold I'm consumed by shadows, of my own design A prisoner of envy, with no escape, no sign *Chorus:* Green-eyed monster, it's tearing me apart A destructive force, that's eating at my heart I can't control it, I can't let it go A primal urge, that's driving me loco *Verse 2:* Their touch, their gaze, it's a violation of space A threat to my domain, a challenge to my place I seethe with rage, I burn with jealous spite A green-eyed monster, that's feeding on my night *Pre-Chorus:* Can't escape the grip, of this toxic hold A poison in my veins, that's turning me cold I'm consumed by shadows, of my own design A prisoner of envy, with no escape, no sign *Chorus:* Green-eyed monster, it's tearing me apart A destructive force, that's eating at my heart I can't control it, I can't let it go A primal urge, that's driving me loco *Bridge:* In the mirror's gaze, a reflection stares A stranger's face, with a heart full of snares A lesson unlearned, a path that's astray A soul consumed, by the green-eyed monster's sway *Verse 3:* I try to hide, I try to conceal The ugly truth, the envy that's real But it's a primal scream, that's echoing in my mind A destructive force, that's tearing me apart, piece by piece in time *Pre-Chorus:* Can't escape the grip, of this toxic hold A poison in my veins, that's turning me cold I'm consumed by shadows, of my own design A prisoner of envy, with no escape, no sign *Chorus:* Green-eyed monster, it's tearing me apart A destructive force, that's eating at my heart I can't control it, I can't let it go A primal urge, that's driving me loco *Outro:* Envy's flame, it flickers out Leaving only darkness, and a hollow doubt A reminder of the damage done A green-eyed monster, that's forever undone.
