lyrics

I have an enemy inside my throat
Causing me to say the words that aren't my own
Either tongue-tied or slurring the speech
That I don't mean to say

Why do I do the things I hate?
I can't seem to get my life straight
I need some help now
Send a reinforcement

I have an enemy inside my lungs
Taking in all the things that I don't need
But I'm just dying to breathe You in

I'm always hit when I'm down
And shoved all around
It's always been this way
It's not always my fault
But I should of called
On You when it mattered the most

I have an enemy inside my head
Dictating all my thoughts and administering all my crimes
Setting snares but coming up short
