The Enemy Inside





Over and over again 

I relive the moment 

I'm bearing a burden within 

Open wounds hidden under my skin 



The pain is real 

As a cut that bleeds 

The face I see 

Every time I try to sleep 

Staring at me crying 



I'm running from the enemy inside 

(The enemy inside) 

Looking for the life I left behind 

(The life I left behind) 

These suffocating memories 

Are etched upon my mind 

And I can't escape from the enemy inside 



I sever myself from the world 

I shut down completely 

Alone in my own living hell 

Overcome with irrational fear 



Under the weight of the world on my chest 

If I fall and break as I try to catch my breath 

Tell me I'm not dying 



I'm running from the enemy inside 

(The enemy inside) 

Looking for the life I left behind 

(The life I left behind) 

These suffocating memories 

Are etched upon my mind 

And I can't escape from the enemy inside 



I'm a burden, I'm a travesty 

I'm a prisoner of regret 

Dream of flashbacks and of violent screams 

I am hanging on the edge 



Disaster lurks around the bend 

Paradise comes to an end 

And no magic pill 

Can bring it back again 



I'm running from the enemy inside 

Looking for the life I left behind 

These suffocating memories 

Are etched upon my mind 

And I can't escape from the enemy inside
