The Enemy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] To remain objective To a closer call Secretly rejected And to mediocrity fall Caught on the down slopes of life [Pre-Chorus] The padded shoulder remembers The elbowed side resists [Chorus] Encircled ad nauseum An enemy to define ourselves An enemy to refine our hate [Verse 2] Encouraging on the negative scale Bent out of shape is the measuring norm In words and in writing No one knows my enemy like I do [Verse 3] A social repellent Merely an adversary Lost to the failing words Kept the last of all Understood glances To work against [Pre-Chorus] The padded shoulder remembers The elbowed side resists [Chorus] Encircled ad nauseum An enemy to define ourselves An enemy to refine our hate
