The Enemy

lyrics

THE ENEMY

You can run a way
or get down on your knees and pray
You can close your eyes not to see
and fit into the box where you are told to be
But you can never - never, never, never
run away from yourself

You can bury it all
in a deep black hole
or walking wandering the earth
straight through your soles
straight into your soul
But you can never, never, never, never, never
walk away from yourself

You can hide in the past
or flee into the future – floating around in space at last
You can strike - down on reality in anger
But still it is your own heart screaming out in fear
cause you can never, never, never, never
hide away from yourself

Who is the enemy?
Not letting happiness to be free
I am I am

You can fight a war
or un-discover who really are
(You can) blame magnetism and gravity
and hit your head hard – to become a little pea
But you can never, never never, never
stop - being you

You can travel inside
and pay yourself a bribe
letting questions fade into answers
forgetting those dreams
forgetting those screams
but you can never, never, never, never,
escape who you are

You can damn the living
and escape into death – liberate your heart from feeling
But a fool can never – never let go
of the idealistic heart –
as it slowly dies - You fade away -
and the planet cries
That you will never, never, never, never
be alone with yourself

Who is the enemy?
Not letting happiness to be free
I am I am

you can never
run away
never, never, never, never
walk away

you can never,
hide away
from yourself

you will never, never never, never
stop - being you

you can never, never, never, never
escape who you are

you can never, never, never, never
not be

Who is the enemy?
Not letting happiness to be free
I am we are
