Envy of it All (2011-song)

How many times

Do you stare out your window

Up at the stars

And wonder what they say?

Do they hold, you secrets

Do they know, your future

And how long before, it falls

Open your eyes

This is not your world you’re living in

Breathe in your diseases, fight off your medicines and fall

(chorus)

Travel with me let me take you on a journey

Let me show you, a better side of life

Open your heart, to me.

I can show you clarity

This fight, to be free, it won’t be easy

But I won’t let you surrender to the envy of it all

(end chorus)

How many times, do you think you yourself?

“This is my last one” “this time I mean it”

Is it about, the comfort?

Is it about, the control?

And how long before, you fall?

Open your eyes, this is not your world you’re living in

Breathe in your diseases, fight of all your medicines

And fall

(chorus)

Travel with me let me take you on a journey

Let me show you, a better side of life

Open your heart, to me.

I can show you clarity

This fight, to be free, it won’t be easy

But I won’t let you surrender to the envy of it all

(end chorus)

Addiction is a powerful thing. It’s not something you can just quit and not many people understand that until you’ve lived through it. I’m here to say that, I’ve overcome it. That you can too. you are stronger than you know and I promise you, life is better, sober!

(end spoken)
