#win in that scene: i'm not such a clown - i'm the entire circus

[hyakunana]

And the fox keeps winning

[song-writer-melo-wrath]

I'll be honest, some of the Don't Take It Personally collection has given me a real passion for these "Clearly, you don't own an air fryer" energy songs.

This is something I've mentioned once or twice, but I actually consider envy to be one of my main sins out of the classic Seven Deadly. I suppose that makes it easy to recognize in others. However, envy is the negative to sympathy and empathy. In being envious of someone, you're not really realizing the extent of either your situation, or the other person's. Food for thought, innit.

Lyrics below the cut <3

Oh you're full of envy Aren't you? You're placing your fingers on everything turning it green That hue Has never seemed pretty on you, never seemed quite your scene The grass is greener on the other side, oh so it may seem But there's dirt beneath it, I didn't keep my hands clean You’re awfully bitter Aren’t you Now that you no one to handle you and keep you sweet You’re due A reminder that any kind person can still become mean But you want to be me, be what you see, you want to be serene?

Then I hope you know that whatever you do It won't mean a thing if it's from you Because your later actions will undo Your entire circus, you clown Here's a thought for you, if you're feeling down

Oh boo-hoo You didn't get noticed, poor you You don't have my focus Well, if I'm living here in your head rent-free Then you let me in, that's not the fault of me! Boo-hoo If killing me's appealing, then you Better do it with feeling I'd love to watch the spark fade out of both of our eyes And if I get to see you cry, Then why, boo-hoo!

Oh you're never gonna win, I know that for a fact For I am your sin, I can read you down pat All your warped philosophies and self-fulfilling tragedies I promise you, I swear to you, are not all that Your pride's your downfall and I make you wrathful inside too slothful to hide so don’t even try no point to deny, it’s not fight or fly, if you won’t let it die:

Then I hope you know that whatever you do It won't mean a thing if it's from you Because your later actions will undo Your entire circus, you clown Here's a thought for you, if you're feeling down

Oh boo-hoo You didn't get noticed, poor you You don't have my focus Well, if I'm living here in your head rent-free Then you let me in, that's not the fault of me! Boo-hoo If killing me's appealing, then you Better do it with feeling I'd love to watch the spark of anger in you fade And if there’s nothing left to say,

May you have the time of your life May you have the time of your life May you have the time of your life May you have the time of your life

Too true You don’t have my focus Poor you, You just didn’t notice That while you made space in your head for me I made space in mine to finally Be true! We’re better off strangers While you Seem to think yourself dangerous Well that’s not my problem, and not my fault Your envy is just the result, Boo-hoo!
