Mortifera - ENVY

I watch you shine, I watch you breathe, You have the world I want to hold. Behind my smile, I slowly seethe, My hands are empty, dark and cold. You wear your success like a velvet gown, You walk in gold, you live in light. But in my mind, I pull you down, And wish you lose your perfect sight. This is the poison in my cup, The silent shadow on my face. I hate to see you rising up, I want to steal your holy place. A quiet monster in the gloom, It eats my heart, it breathes my air. I wish your garden stops to bloom, And leaves you drowning in despair. I learn your steps, I know your name, I copy every word you speak. I want your beauty and your fame, But all this watching makes me weak. You never notice how I stare, With frozen eyes behind your back. I breathe the oxygen you share, And paint your golden world in black. This is the poison in my cup, The silent shadow on my face. I hate to see you rising up, I want to steal your holy place. A quiet monster in the gloom, It eats my heart, it breathes my air. I wish your garden stops to bloom, And leaves you drowning in despair. Your luck... is my curse. Every day... it's getting worse. Why you?... Why not me? This is the ghost... you cannot see. I want your life. I want your skin. Let my dark entity begin. This is the poison in my cup, The silent shadow on my face. I hate to see you rising up, I want to steal your holy place. A quiet monster in the gloom, It eats my heart, it breathes my air. I wish your garden stops to bloom, And leaves you drowning in despair. Why not me?... Just a shadow...
