The Enemy Inside - Dream Theater

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

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
