"The Enemy" lyrics

"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 hopeless now
Searching for the enemy
The enemy inside of me
The waves crash down
Smothering the memories, the memories inside my mind

Inside my mind
Inside my mind
Inside my mind

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

(Inside my mind)
