Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Over and over again I relive the moment I'm bearing the burden within Open wounds hidden under my skin Pain as real as a cut that bleeds The face I see every time I try to sleep Is staring at me crying [Chorus] I'm running from the enemy inside (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 [Verse 2] I sever myself from the world And shut down completely All alone in my own living hell Overcome with irrational fear Under the weight of the world on my chest I buckle and break as I try to catch my breath Tell me I'm not dying! [Chorus] I'm running from the enemy inside (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 [Bridge] I'm a burden, I'm a travesty I'm a prisoner of regret Between the flashbacks and the violent dreams I am hanging on the edge Disaster lurks around the bend Paradise came to an end And no magic pill Can bring it back again [Instrumental Break] [Keyboard Solo] [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] I'm running from the enemy inside (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
