Plague

Trepidation
Creepin' up on me
Her validation
Comes so easily
And I can't stand it
Never felt so much unease
Suffocating
Reading all her praise
Infuriating
When they speak her name
And I can't help it
Need a cure for this disease

This Plague
That sweeps the land
This Plague
Of comparison
And maybe someday
We'll all join hand in hand
But today
This Plague is in command of me

Fervently proving
My superiority
But only showing
My insecurity
Never knowing
She's worth just as much as me
Slowly sinking
Into the sunken place
Always thinking
That I'll be replaced
And now I'm seeing
Something sinful's got a spell on me
And I know there's no need to fear her
'Cause my rival is the girl in the mirror
But this vindictive part of me
Is addicted to misery

It's a Plague
That sweeps the land
This Plague
Of comparison
And maybe someday
We'll all join hand in hand
But today
This Plague is in command of me

And deep down
I wish her peace
Yeah deep down
I want her joyful and happy
Oh deep down
Don't want her to feel my grief
Yes deep down
I'm glad for her
Oh deep down
I wish her the life she deserves
But deep down
I don't even know my worth
And I try to extricate myself by standing on her
But in the end, I only feel worse
Satisfaction
It seems eons away
I guess it's just another symptom

Of this Plague
That sweeps the land
This Plague
Of comparison
And maybe someday
We'll all join hand in hand
But today
This Plague is in command
It's a Plague
That sweeps the land
This Plague
Of comparison
And maybe someday
We'll all join hand in hand
But today
This Plague is in command of me
