Enemy Within

Verse 1 There’s a voice that whispers low When the world falls into silence It knows every step I take Turns my strength into violence It moves inside the shadows No face, no identity But it feeds on all my fears And uses them against me Pre-Chorus I try to run… but it’s still there Every fall… it drags me back Chorus You are the enemy within me The shadow I cannot escape You whisper pain, you feed the end And twist the path I take You are the poison in my veins A war that never dies Between the man I try to be And the thing I can’t deny Verse 2 Laughter echoes in the void When I think I’ve finally won It rises stronger than before Waiting for me to come undone Mirrors show a fractured soul One that fights, one that breaks The more I try to kill it off The more control it takes Bridge (spoken / intense) It knows every weakness Every fear I hide I don’t need an enemy… It lives inside Final Chorus You are the enemy within me The war I cannot end A cold and silent parasite That bends me till I break again You are the echo of my pain The shadow in my mind Even if I overcome… You’re never left behind
