Little demon trying to get the best of me He's in me and everyone and it's so easy To give root to the cause of my frustration To look to him for my outside validation He won't stop talking or quit his mocking He is a cancer that simply won't stop growing Too much time to dwell and it won't help Idle time makes for the Devil's perfect hell Pitch-fork tongue and ravenous with greed Why, all the better to eat another's dreams I'll find an outlet that produces positivity Kickboxing for fun and sprinting for soliloquies Yes, this little monster is trying to outsmart me He'll realize soon that he's wasting his energy No, I won't give in, though I might slip or fall Yes, I might lose my way but I won't lose it all I'll drown out his taunting with the sickest of beats Better yet, I'll destroy and make him beg for defeat!

Little demon trying to get the best of me He's in me and everyone and it's so easy To give root to the cause of my frustration To look to him for my outside validation He won't stop talking or quit his mocking He is a cancer that simply won't stop growing Too much time to dwell and it won't help Idle time makes for the Devil's perfect hell Pitch-fork tongue and ravenous with greed Why, all the better to eat another's dreams I'll find an outlet that produces positivity Kickboxing for fun and sprinting for soliloquies Yes, this little monster is trying to outsmart me He'll realize soon that he's wasting his energy No, I won't give in, though I might slip or fall Yes, I might lose my way but I won't lose it all I'll drown out his taunting with the sickest of beats Better yet, I'll destroy and make him beg for defeat!
Being consumed by envy isn't worth your time.
