Lyrics

Intro

Envy, knock and let yourself in,

Pull the curtain, show me your grin.

Verse

You never pay to take a seat,

You live on what the others eat.

You count the claps for someone new,

And every one is owed to you.

You dress as justice, dress as care,

But I can see the hunger there.

You write the law but never sign,

You walk the court but cross the line.

Pre-Chorus

Every glow I made by hand

Is something you can't understand.

Chorus

Envy, Envy, take a bow,

(take a bow)

I see the trick, I see it now.

You turn applause into a fee,

A price that no one charged to me.

I won't dim to keep you fed,

I'll shine a little more instead.

Verse

You say the stage was meant for few,

And every few must pass through you.

You hang a mirror on the wall,

Then hate the one who stands too tall.

You twist a rival from a friend,

And dress a start up as an end.

You sour the sweetest thing they made,

And make the brightest moment fade.

Pre-Chorus

Every glow I made by hand

Is something you can't understand.

Chorus

Envy, Envy, take a bow,

(take a bow)

I see the trick, I see it now.

You turn applause into a fee,

A price that no one charged to me.

I won't dim to keep you fed,

I'll shine a little more instead.

Bridge

You come in small and soft and kind,

Then try to take the wheel of mind.

I hear you tapping on the pane,

You'll find no room here, try again.

I'm glad to see the others shine,

Their light takes nothing off of mine.

Solo

Final Chorus

I know your knock, I know your art,

(know your art)

You'll find no table in my heart.

I'll take the stage with open hands,

And clap for anyone who stands.

The light I make is mine to give,

And that's the only way I live.

Outro

Envy knocks, I let it wait,

Got a record to create.
