The Enemy Inside

Over and over again

I relive the moment

I'm bearing the burden within

Open wounds hidden under my skin

Pain is real as a cut that bleeds

The face I see every time I try to sleep

Staring at me crying

[Chorus]

I'm running from the enemy inside

Looking for the life I left behind

These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind

And I can't escape from the enemy inside

I sever myself from the world

And shut down completely

All alone in my own living hell

Overcome with irrational fear

Under the weight of the world on my chest

I buckle and break as I try to catch my breath

Tell me I'm not dying

[Chorus]

I'm running from the enemy inside

Looking for the life I left behind

These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind

And I can't escape from the enemy inside

I'm a burden and a travesty

I'm a prisoner of regret

Between the flashbacks and the violent dreams

I am hanging on the edge

Disaster lurks around the bend

Paradise came to an end

And no magic pill

Can bring it back again

[Chorus]

I'm running from the enemy inside

Looking for the life I left behind

These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind

And I can't escape from the enemy inside
