Lyrics:
Every day I try
I'm trying my best to beat the rest
And yet still I keep losing my will
Knowing I'll only hurt myself trying to feel fulfilled

And it never comes
I'm lagging behind, losing my mind
Though they say that I'm doing great
But we both know it's fate, they'll soon find another thrill

The praise that I've been craving only serves to scrutinize
It feels so devastating when I'm worthless in their eyes
As I watch you blaze ahead of me, it comes as no surprise
That when I see that smirk on your face, I'm feeling...

Green with envy, jealousy has taken over me
Why can't I become just like you now?
"Keep up the fight!" Cop out answers like that just ignite
The anger bursting from within my heart
Unsatisfied, I feel my hate widening the divide
Between myself and all surrounding me
Pay it no mind! I try to keep my chin up, head held high
But the emerald demon lurks behind my eyes

It's never enough
The hunger will grow out of control
And I tried to keep it inside
But I know in the end it'll swallow me whole

I reach for the stars
But they're just too far to even feel
If I fly, will my wings open wide
Or will I fall to earth before I can become real?

I look into the mirror and it makes me feel annoyed
I'm left endlessly climbing, trying just to fill the void
There's nothing else to say when my hard work just gets destroyed
And when I see that smirk on your face, I'm feeling...

Green with envy, jealousy has taken over me
Why can't I become just like you now?
"Keep up the fight!" Cop out answers like that just ignite
The anger bursting from within my heart
Unsatisfied, I feel my hate widening the divide
Between myself and all surrounding me
Pay it no mind! I try to keep my chin up, head held high
But the emerald demon lurks behind my eyes

It's eating away at my sense of self from the inside out now
And there's no escape from the emerald demon within my heart!

Green with envy, jealousy has taken over me
Why can't I become just like you now?
"Keep up the fight!" Cop out answers like that just ignite
The anger bursting from within my heart
Unsatisfied, I feel my hate widening the divide
Between myself and all surrounding me
Pay it no mind! I try to keep my chin up, head held high
But the emerald demon lurks behind my eyes

I'm green with envy, jealousy has taken over me
Why can't I become just like you now?
"Give up the fight!" I hear that voice whispering in my mind
The anger bursting from within my heart
So unsatisfied, I feel my hate widening the divide
Between myself and all surrounding me
It lurks inside, I try to keep my chin up, head held high
But the emerald demon grips me like a v___
