| Dante groups Envy with Anger and Pride as the sins of "Perverted Love." The other two groups are "Insufficient Love" and "Excessive Love of Earthly Goods." Envy is perverted because it "loves" what other people possess, rather than what is Good, Beautiful and True. It is often portrayed as "eating away" the heart of the envious person. Dante shows the envious as among those farthest away from Paradise, with their eyes sewn shut, but weeping over their sins. Again, a common metaphor for Envy is "wearing out the eyes." |
| i still recall the taste of your tears echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore scraping through my head 'till i don't want to sleep anymore you make this all go away you make this all go away i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself you make this all go away you make this all go away i just want something i just want something i can never have you always were the one to show me how back then i couldn't do the things that i can do now this thing is slowly taking me apart grey would be the color if i had a heart come on tell me you make this all go away you make this all go away i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself you make this all go away you make this all go away i just want something i just want something i can never have in this place it seems like such a shame though it all looks different now, i know it's still the same everywhere i look you're all i see just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be come on tell me you make this all go away you make this all go away i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself you make this all go away you make it all go away i just want something i just want something i can never have i just want something i can never have |
