Jealousy is a virtue
So hold it close now dear
It turns you, holds you
Follows you, lures you
Into a hopeless web of lies
Wrap it around your pretty little troat
Turn those lips to blue
Screams held silent in the night
Forever will they haunt you
Pray for its quick end
The sights you see are forever engraved
Pray for the slightest change in fate
You alone can never be saved
Jealousy is my virtue
I hold it close now dear
It turns me, hurts me
Burns me, kills me
Turns my heart to black
Reach out for falling stars
They match your failing heart
Fire burns strong in eyes so blind
Take your arrow and find your mark
Kiss the necks of lovers you left
Weave yourself into their every thought
Pick them up, lead them on
Then leave their hearts alone to rot
You are forever a virtue
Hold your jealousy close now dear
You turn, you hurt
You break and you kill
Alone with your heart of blackened stone |
