THE ENEMY WITHIN

LYRICS: THE ENEMY WITHIN I bite my tongue, I choke the sound, Another piece of me hits the ground. I wear this face, I play this role, While something feral eats my soul. Every scar becomes a chain, Every thought repeats the pain. I built these walls to keep it out Now I'm the thing they warn about. No escape. No release. There's a war beneath the peace. I hear it breathing in my chest A loaded gun that never rests. I am the war that i can't outrun! Two sides of me, but i am one! Something inside pulls me below I fight to rise, it drags me low! I hear my name in a voice unknown, A war within, on a field of stone! I won't surrender, i won't depart The enemy within knows my heart! One step forward, two steps back, My own reflection leads the attack. It knows my fears, it knows my name, It pulls the trigger, I take the blame. No holy light. No guiding hand. Just shattered teeth and sinking sand. I scream for silence, I beg for air But every breath feeds the thing in there. No escape. No release. There's a war beneath the peace. I hear it laughing in my chest And now I know who's passed the test. I am the war that i can't outrun! Two sides of me, but i am one! Something inside pulls me below I fight to rise, it drags me low! I hear my name in a voice unknown, A war within, on a field of stone! I won't surrender, i won't depart The enemy within knows my heart!
