The enemy inside

Over and over again
I relive the moment
I´m bearing a burden within
Open wounds hidden under my skin
The pain is real
As a cut that bleeds
The face I see
Every time I try to sleep
Staring at me crying
I´m running from the enemy inside
(The enemy inside)
Looking for the life I left behind
(The life I left behind)
These suffocating memories
Are etched upon my mind
And I can´t escape from the enemy inside
I sever myself from the world
I shut down completely
Alone in my own living hell
Overcome with irrational fear
Under the weight of the world on my chest
If I fall and break as I try to catch my breath
Tell me I´m not dying
I´m running from the enemy inside
(The enemy inside)
Looking for the life I left behind
(The life I left behind)
These suffocating memories
Are etched upon my mind
And I can´t escape from the enemy inside
I´m a burden, I´m a travesty
I´m a prisoner of regret
Dream of flashbacks and of violent screams
I am hanging on the edge
Disaster lurks around the bend
Paradise comes to an end
And no magic pill
Can bring it back again
I´m running from the enemy inside
Looking for the life I left behind
These suffocating memories
Are etched upon my mind
And I can´t escape from the enemy inside
I relive the moment
I´m bearing a burden within
Open wounds hidden under my skin
The pain is real
As a cut that bleeds
The face I see
Every time I try to sleep
Staring at me crying
I´m running from the enemy inside
(The enemy inside)
Looking for the life I left behind
(The life I left behind)
These suffocating memories
Are etched upon my mind
And I can´t escape from the enemy inside
I sever myself from the world
I shut down completely
Alone in my own living hell
Overcome with irrational fear
Under the weight of the world on my chest
If I fall and break as I try to catch my breath
Tell me I´m not dying
I´m running from the enemy inside
(The enemy inside)
Looking for the life I left behind
(The life I left behind)
These suffocating memories
Are etched upon my mind
And I can´t escape from the enemy inside
I´m a burden, I´m a travesty
I´m a prisoner of regret
Dream of flashbacks and of violent screams
I am hanging on the edge
Disaster lurks around the bend
Paradise comes to an end
And no magic pill
Can bring it back again
I´m running from the enemy inside
Looking for the life I left behind
These suffocating memories
Are etched upon my mind
And I can´t escape from the enemy inside
