Lyrics
The 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.
Look me straight
Now blame it on loneliness
Who knows?
Certainly not them
Where is this?
The lane that takes you head on
But for now
You do not/cannot contemplate
Certainly not you
And silence is dread
'Cause look what you've done
Aligned outside no aim
Which follows me
Painted over a well cleansed abdomen
Tattooed ugly and blue
The enemy
Watch and wait
A childproof survival kit
Just for a glimpse
Of the everlasting big kick
Secrets bleeding to untold families
Lovers in flight over the gravesite
We become statues
In a ten acre garden
