My Enemy

So safe within this cozy little cell

No risk at all throwing coins into a well

I lust for gold, but shutter at the price

Reward I want, but not the sacrifice

And the target's well with in my sights

But my hands won't release the bow

I've been pulling back on it so long

I've forgotten how to let it go

And I know I have the means

But my will is gone

And I fear I won't succeed so I'm holding on

A life passes by, I watch passively

I'm haunted by time, my enemy

I fear that I'm bound, I fear that I'm free

And haunted by time, my enemy

I'm frozen by the fast approaching night

A dear that stares into oncoming light

It's time for me to come down from the fence

But either side invites a consequence

Waiting for the door to open wide

Waiting for the stones to find their place

The price it never seems to leave my hands

Intentions never help me in the race

And I know I have the means

But my will is gone

And I fear I won't succeed so I'm holding on

A life passes by, I watch passively

I'm haunted by time, my enemy

I fear that I'm bound, I fear that I'm free

And haunted by time, my enemy

So I'm safe within my cozy little shell

No risk at all, just wishing to myself

The price of gold, more than I care to spend

But the cost of life is to chance the consequence

And the target's well with in my sights

But my hands won't release the bow

I've been pulling back on it so long

I've forgotten how to let it go

And I know I have the means

But my will is gone

And I fear I won't succeed so I'm holding on

A life passes by, I watch passively

I'm haunted by time, my enemy

I fear that I'm bound, I fear that I'm free

And haunted by time, my enemy
