Lyrics
Enemy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every time the blood runs to my head, I hear the ring
Something to remind me I'm not dead, I'm caught in between
I listen to the voice and what it says, it's never sweet
It's something I was born into I guess, living in me
No price, nothing I pay will make it alright
Nothing I see will make it lose sight
Nothing I take will make me sleep at night
When I look within, I feel like I should be running
I will never shake this feeling until I feel nothing
I have the enemy inside of me
Every time I take another breath I feel the sting
Everyone around me seems so numb,
I feel everything
No price, nothing I pay will make it alright
Nothing I see will make it lose sight
Nothing I take will make me sleep at night
When I look within, I feel like I should be running
I will never shake this feeling until I feel nothing
I am the enemy, inside of me
Taking my time, to untangle the wires, and stare into my sanity
Dropping the hammer, and pulling the trigger I know now the bullet is me
I have the enemy inside of me.
