The Enemy

I cut my hands on the broken pictures

Of bitterness I create

The maggots feed on my lungs and break me

Born to this world of disease

We’re sinking deeper to the edge of the atmosphere

Our lives are nothing but a broken dream

Your suicide is what disguises the system

I can never sleep

I’m hopeless now

Searching for the enemy

The enemy inside of me

The waves crash down

Smothering the memories, the memories inside my mind

There’s nothing left but the smoke and embers

Of a life that has died

The voices tell me that I’ll never be something

From all these ashes I rise

I’m chasing shadows just to fake that I feel alright

I wear this mask just to disguise what’s inside

You’ll never kill the parts of me that are broken

Cause I’ve already died

I’m laying here with my hands crossed

My eyes are closed inside this box

The stars remind me

That I’m ready to expire

I’m hopeless now

Searching for the enemy

The enemy inside of me

The waves crash down

Smothering the memories, the memories inside my mind
