about

When I was a kid my mom used to call us the green eyed monster whenever we would get jealous. After a particularly rough break up (which was mostly my fault) I found myself very jealous of not only the ability to move on but those lucky enough to take the space I was a place holder for. Thus becoming, the Green Eyed Monster.

lyrics

GREEN EYED MONSTER!

The lyre summons demons who will whisper in your dreams
They feed upon your screams
rejoice when you cant breathe
Take in what you cant see while you’re out seeking your xi
Made a believer out of me
A disguise that caught me by surprise
A lie allowed not forgotten
A noose above the heads of those who's hearts had simple gotten
Left behind still ahead of the trend
But the hunger calls for more when the music makes sense
Whats the pattern we are seeking
Watch the mood, it depends.

None would say that you are scary
None would say you’re terrifying
But in your eyes there lies a monster
and he whispers ugly secrets
He will tell you you're imperfect
He might say that you are lacking
But my heart, it knows much better
Yes Ive learned you that much better

Now, Im not saying that I'm the wisest
But I have a small idea
if we could put aside our weakness
If we could put aside our fears
If we could stand up in our power
Rise as one in our new strength
Then we could motivate the masses that




Loves not just a game to play
I love you like I’m getting paid to
Hunny can't you see the pain
the shame at losing emeralds
ruby, diamonds, you are golden
Shining
Shimmering
Like that gleam in your eyes
(Green eyed monster)

I growl at the heathens
I am not judgmental, I'm just stuck inside my grievance
A death shut me down from mortal ventures
Rebellion from pleasure
now Craving blood I know
this might take some desperate measures
must eliminate snow
Eliminate curtain
current moments seem scary
but that past was darkly certain
hurting beyond repair
the glare just sticks with me
fairly, you stiffed me
Barely, Im lifting
I care, but I'm shifting

Now I have taken crying lessons
And I have shared what my heart says
Still I think about you all day
its clear my love just wants to stay
Though Ive forgotten what you look like
am I just living in denial but
I still smell lavender kisses
I still Imagine how you smile


I cant help but think about him
Though I've never seen his face
though I've never heard his name
seems like someones took my place
Now when I look into the mirror
And see green eyes under beret
I miss the love I sought to save

Loves not just a game to play
I love you like I’m getting paid to
Hunny can't you see the pain
the shame at losing emeralds
ruby, diamonds, you are golden
perfect, and i miss you
Sincerely , your man

Tiptoe up the steps out to the balcony
where I see some shadows down below sneaking out into dark alleys
A glint below I think belongs to eyes
I used to gaze into, I phase into
A memory Id blocked
because the shame is too
much for the moment
Stolen from the times where pain was our biggest component
I own it , Ive blown it
I glance down one more time before I turn into a stone (shit)
