Crucifliction - Coveting

{Verse 1}
High upon the mantle-
On the TV screen
Constantly fed the lies-
Of things I need to be
Cars that go fast
Exotic hotspots
Trinkets that bring nothing
Shiny diamonds
Wise investments
False sense of security

{Pre-Chorus 1}
See it-
Life size figure on display
Want it-
Consumption is the only way
Got to-
Feed the demon every day
Have it-
Sacrificing everything

{Chorus 1}
You always seem to be-
The one who has it all
Stand so high
While those around you fall
Deny me everything I want
Life gives to you
God takes from me
Behind my smile
I’m left here coveting

{Verse 2}
See the pretty creature
Out there on the street
Hanging off the arms-
Of someone-
That someone should be me
I am more deserving
I should have it all
Beauty is mine to possess
Envy is my God

{Pre-Chorus 2}
See it-
Life size figure on display
Want it-
Consumption is the only way
Got to-
Feed the demon every day
Have it-
Sacrificing everything

{Chorus 2}
You always seem to be-
The one who has it all
Stand so high
While those around you fall
Deny me everything I want
Life gives to you
God takes from me
Behind my smile
I’m left here coveting

{Verse 3}
Break into the fortress
Crime spree on the way
Grabbing all-
That can be held-
About to get away
Hear the sirens wailing
Dogs let off the chain
Turn to run
Shots ring out
A slug rips through the brain

{Pre-Chorus 3}
See it-
Life size figure on display
Want it-
Consumption is the only way
Got to-
Feed the demon every day
Have it-
Sacrificing everything

{Chorus 3}
You always seem to be-
The one who has it all
Stand so high
While those around you fall
Deny me everything I want
Life gives to you
God takes from me
Behind my smile
I’m left here coveting

{Outro}
Jealousy
Everyday
Anger
Grows again
Deceit
Is the way
Take it all
Coveting

Have to
Find a way
Money
Buys everything
Driven
All the way
Take it all
Coveting
