"Enemy" lyrics

"Enemy"

Battlefields are burning
And I'm found
All this broken clothing
Like leaves on the ground

I gave you compassion
We drifted light years across
How can you claim my love
And let me drown in your arms?

That's my enemy
Right there
Who I'll never leave
You will know, you will know when
That's my enemy
Don't despair
I will never leave you

I nestle to a tight flame
In the dark
Living in your nightmares
Why do you keep me around?

Temptations are hereby suns
That teach my dark ways of light
Soft wailing in my ear
Tells me your sound

That's my enemy
Right there
Who I'll never leave
You will know, you will know where
My identity
Can't be squared
That's my enemy
You will know, you will know when

End of day, I'll be dancing
On your grave
Another double imposing
What did you want me to save?
I never held my tongue and watched the crowds disappear
Can't bear to sink my luck
Into a cosmic affair

That's my enemy
Right there
Who I'll never leave
You will know, you will know when
That's my enemy
Don't despair
I will never leave you
