The Enemy Inside

Over and over again
I relive the moment
I'm bearing a burden within
Open wounds hidden under my skin.

The 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
(The enemy inside)
Looking for the life I left behind
(The life I left behind)
These suffocating memories
Are etched upon my mind
And I can't escape from the enemy inside.

2. I sever myself from the world
I shut down completely
Alone in my own living hell
Overcome with irrational fear.

Under the weight of the world on my chest
If I fall and break as I try to catch my breath
Tell me I'm not dying.

[Chorus]

* I'm a burden, I'm a travesty
I'm a prisoner of regret
Dream of flashbacks and of violent screams
I am hanging on the edge.

Disaster lurks around the bend
Paradise comes to an end
And no magic pill
Can bring it back again.

[Chorus]
