Envy

I: Son

The night is cold

My breath swirls around my

face as I sigh

The night is cold

But I can't feel it

That's what you always say

Isn't it?

'You-can't-feel'

Spelling it out for me

Like I'm a child

Who doesn't understand

Maybe I am

Maybe I am a stubborn child

Who doesn't want

To admit they're scared,

Sad, and lonely

The night is cold

I'll make my heart colder

I don't want to feel these soft, warm feelings

I want to feel the rough unstable anger

Don't I?

Maybe

I won't be miserable anymore

If I make everyone miserable with me

II: Mother

You're scared of me

Your anger's a mask

I can tell

You are afraid

Of what you do not know

I was your son

Now I'm…

Now you don't know

What I am

So you put on this mask

Of malice and power

But you're afraid

Maybe if I break that mask

You won't be able

To hide anymore

Mother is what you were

Master is what you are

Dead is what I want you to be

III: Father

You created me

You killed me

You left me

You wanted me

You rejected me

You loved me

You hated me

You are my father

You are a stranger

You are kind and caring

You are malicious and cruel

You are someone I want to find

You are someone I never want to see

You are everything I want to be

You are everything I despise

You are no one to me
