about

The introspective lyrics navigates the poignant realization that true fulfillment eludes us when we covet what others possess, and considers the futility of yearning for the things which later in life you realize aren't the things to be pined for.

lyrics

Envy
Why do you covet me so
When everything you ever fought for
Was an illusion all along

There's a fortress
And the drawbridge is closing
Climb the wall
To an enclave
Where the gatekeepers hide
And the sleeping dogs lie

When everything you ever looked for
Was staring at you all along
When the veil falls
And the jealousy crumbles
To the floor
At the endgame
Let the jury decide
And the envy subside

Envy
Why do you comfort me so
So
