Joseph Schwartz - Envy Lyrics

I see you rise above the crowd
Your laughter echoes, much too loud
I want your light, I crave your glow
But deep inside, I sink so low
In shadows, I hide, feeling the sting
Chasing illusions, I want everything
But every smile that lights up the room
Steals my light, and brings me gloom
Oh, I'm just a shadow on your stage
Stuck inside this ego cage
I want your shine, I want your fame
Your vibrant life, your endless game
Caught in your spotlight, can't break away
Every move you make puts me in dismay
I can't help but wish for what you own
While I linger here, feeling all alone
I paint a smile, but it's just a disguise
Behind the laughter, there's a storm that lies
Wishing on stars that aren't meant for me
Oh, can't you see? I'm a ghost in your light
Drifting unseen as you rise out of sight
I watch from the dark, where nothing remains
Just hollowed-out echoes and unspoken pains.
