The enemy within.
Razor sharp, yet numbed
Lies the enemy within.
Hacking hatefully
At the self beneath my skin.
Crawling through my veins
'Till it finds the heart of me,
Clawing at my lungs
So I can't breathe.
It's grinding down my bones,
Tearing at my nerves,
Mincing up my brain
To feed the one it serves.
Ripping out my stomach,
Screaming in my ears...
How can I ignore
My deepest fears?
Razor sharp, yet numbed
Lies the enemy within.
Hacking hatefully
At the self beneath my skin.
Crawling through my veins
'Till it finds the heart of me,
Clawing at my lungs
So I can't breathe.
It's grinding down my bones,
Tearing at my nerves,
Mincing up my brain
To feed the one it serves.
Ripping out my stomach,
Screaming in my ears...
How can I ignore
My deepest fears?
