The Enemy

I wanna chase my dreams
But you just punish me
I lost myself inside the lies and wicked ways
I'm starting to believe
You'll be the death of me
But all I see is the reflection of the enemy
I think I've lost my way
Cause I got nowhere to run
And nowhere to hide
I'm running from the enemy inside
I'll fight for my life cause I wanna survive
It's not the TV screen
It's not my family
I'd still be damaged even if I grew up perfectly
It's something deep inside
Something I cannot explain
It's like I've got a disease without a fucking name
I think I've lost my way
Cause I got nowhere to run
And nowhere to hide
I'm running from the enemy inside
I'll fight for my life and try to survive
I got to face the enemy inside
I'm crying for help
I'm living a lie
I'd do anything
Just to stay alive
I can't take it anymore
Can't fake it anymore
I swear I'll give up my fears
Cause I got nowhere to run
And nowhere to hide
I'm running from the enemy inside
I'll fight for my life and try to survive
I got to face the enemy inside
This is the end of me
The end of me
This is the end of me
I am the enemy
