lyrics

It's hard to admit
But it's time to uncover it
Time to take on it
& put an end to this
It's ugly & shameful, degrading, so painful
To constantly blemish it all –
My friends, my beloved, my deed, my endeavors
I trample my heart all in all

For having conceit
I poison my heart with ill
& stumble upon my feet
Destroy what I barely build
Instead of devoting myself to my goal
I'm resisting & risking it all
No wonder I'm stranded & faintly retreat
I simply cannot go on like this

I am my own enemy
My own judge & jailor & key
& so I'm the only one to salvage me
To brighten the dark side of me

It shows on my skin,
My furrows, my glare
It trembles my voice
& freezes my air
You take it, or run from it, or you can sway
You can fight me, or just keep away
But it's me who lives with it & goes to sleep with it
& wakes up with it every day

I am my own enemy…

I can try to explain
In attempt to defend myself
To justify my state
& so I will rest my case
I'll blame it on mother & father & fate
On my country, the sweltering, my scrape
But at the end of the day it is me who persist it
& me who must kill it before it does me

I am my own enemy…
