lyrics

Friends make the best mirrors
That's the only reason I don't break them

Does my envy strangle your love of life
Or does it strengthen it?
Offering unyielding support
As a dark scaffolding 
A toxic foundation?
With every rose you gleefully sniff,
I sharpen my resentful knife
Waiting to carve a long-due frown 
Into your soft face
I grip your hand, but I do not shake it
I hear your stories, but I never listen
Maybe that means there's nothing, but darkness inside me
But that would be too easy
For you to dismiss
And for me to admit
I think your esteem would dissolve
Without our little unconscious arrangement
I think you're as empty as I am
The only thing that brings you a modicum of pleasure
Is feasting on my envious retreat
That's why you keep by your side
As long as this ritual persists, you'll never die
I only know because I do it all the time
