Green with envy

Lindsay Mancano

If you only knew I was hanging by a thread...
barely wading in the water...
The way that you acted was like everything went wrong...
Wishin I had god to take away all the pain...
Standing in a sea of wealth bein the only one alive...
Bein in poverty having my life in my hands...
As long as you're alive I got it all...
Grass between my toes you in my arms feelings swell like the ocean...
Comin up crashing down....
Seems to be my only thrill...
This greed is bigger than you and me...
Can we come through it?
Will we stay friends?
It’s all falling away...
Gotta rise above & keep it together...
It’s all falling away...
Not feeling...
Not nothin...
