lyrics

[verse 1]
Scream as loud as you can as life passes you by, can you hear me?
Gasping for air as you stare out to the sky, can you feel the energy?
Stirring within as you see your friends forget all about you.
You dreamt of success, but all you ever get is an empty feeling fucking with your head.

[chorus]
I am jealous, I am obsessed.
I was the joker but now I'm just a fool,
And no-one's laughing. Who would have guessed
That I would turn into such a wreck?
Expectations so high, you could never deny
That they could never be met, and now the torch has been lit.

[verse 2]
I try my best to take back what I had, but it's slipping from my grasp.
Fear for my life that I'll never get it back, but there's no use trying.
The sun's shining down but I'm standing in the dark, where you can't see me.
I'm running away from my fears and broken dreams, to some place where they can't find me.

[bridge]
You could have risen up to frightful heights,
I missed my chance and now there's nothing left.
You were the light that shone out from the rest,
But now I'm fading, I'm slowly flickering out.
You could have been the colour to a dull, dark world,
Been the voice that broke the silence.
I could have them hanging off my every word,
But I am nothing. I am nothing.

[chorus 2]
I am jealous, I am obsessed.
I am hooked on the attention of my friends,
This is the curse with which I have been blessed,
Someone save me, save me from myself.

[chorus 3]
I am jealous, I am obsessed.
And I am tired, I'm tired of being this,
(Expectations so high, you could never deny)
I call for help but no-one answers.
(That they could never be met, and now the torch has been lit)
I'm in distress, I'm calling SOS
