Enemy

Hushed voices from the outside
Spill over like water
An oasis for the inside
Cruel as mirages blur

Seeking shelter for the winter
Arm me to the teeth
Lack of insight and of interest
Crawl inside this bottle for safety

Nothing can harm me there
Why fight when you can surrender
Again
And again and again and again

My faith is shook
You could hardly stand and look
Just aim for the heart of me
I know I'm the enemy

Morning never came back stolen like a breath
Lack of interest from the outset content with isolation

Nothing can harm me there
Why fight when you can surrender
Again
Again and again and again

My faith is shook
You could hardly stand and look
Just aim for the heart of me
I know I’m the enemy
My name you took
Like an anchor from below
Just aim for the heart of me
I know I'm the enemy

As though I'd choose this lot in life
The deeply bruised and sunken eyes
Dart swiftly searching for a sign
Some sign of compassion

My faith is shook
You could hardly stand and look
Just aim for the heart of me
I know I’m the enemy
My name you took
Like an anchor from below
Aim for the
The heart of me
Now I am
The enemy
I know I'm the enemy
