The Enemy

Always scheming Always shaming Disguised for public eyes Defaming Wielding weapons Out of framing Burn the evidence Cremate into incense Like ammunition or religion Heroine or crucifixion Addiction to your own Redemption I'm done I'm done Counting losses Counting sheep Lost count Start again I can see a subtle grin This is never what it seemed You were never what you seem You sleep with the animal And I'm tongue tied To the sheets I'm cuddling closer But my words Are out of reach When everyone is against me A tightened chest And a slandered name Are all I'm left with I am not the enemy You flee the scene You turn this on me You make believe my ghost Has no history Medicate medicate To escape all the lies The bridges you burn Keep you warmer at night Always dreaming Always aiming You're killing mine Just to wake me Fetishize the things you're hating I'm done I'm done Counting losses Counting sheep Lost count Start again I can see a subtle grin This is never what it seemed You were never what you seem You sleep with the animal And I'm tongue tied To the sheets I'm cuddling closer But my words Are out of reach When everyone is against me A tightened chest And a slandered name Are all I'm left with I am not the enemy
