Over and over again I relive the moment,
I'm bearing the burden within,
open wounds hidden under my skin.
Pain is real as a cut that bleeds,
the face I see every time I try to sleep
staring at me crying.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
