lyrics

Don’t Be Jealous

When did you start, second guessing yourself?
You’re acting the part. What are you trying to to sell?
You envy, your sibling her perceived popularity
You’re chasing something fleeting
Don’t you know there’s only one person you’re cheating

Don’t be jealous of your sister
Don’t try to trade places with her
So next time you look in the mirror remember
you’re better than that you know you’re better

When did you stop expressing yourself?
You used to create now you consume off the shelf
Cocktails, cocaine pose for the validation game
Pretending to have fun when it ends in tears there’s no one else to blame

Don’t be jealous of your sister
Don’t try to trade places with her
So next time you look in the mirror remember
you’re better than that you know you’re better

Oh I’m here to remind you of things you already know
Remember how you inspired me to speak my mind let thoughts flow
It’s hard to defy expectations that some people hold
So set aside any hesitations, tell them where to go!

Don’t be jealous of your sister
Don’t try to trade places with her
So next time you look in the mirror remember
you’re better than that you know you’re better

Don’t be jealous of your sister
Don’t try to trade places with her
So next time you look in the mirror remember
you’re better than that you know you’re better

I tells stories about daily life in gritty and glorious detail; punk manifestos and indie-rock anecdotes. Occasionally I create experimental pop and synth soundscapes, because why not?
