My Own Enemy Lyrics

You make words of hate flow like water

Cascading down from my mouth

Make no mistake

I'm not good for your health



I'll make your dreams turn into nightmares

I'll turn your mind into stone

When that one goes rolling

Maybe you'll find one of your own



Putting civility to rest

Changing hands into fists

Turmoil easily erupts

I hope the dead can sleep standing up



I wouldn't be so paranoid

If the world wasn't out to get me

I'm so paranoid

Now I've become my own enemy



Look over my shoulder

Is my conscience watching me again?

He doesn't understand

The means justify the end



You could give me love or your warfare

You could leave me all alone

Nothing stays the same

But some things never seem to change



It's impossible to trust

Such friendly enemies

You can bury secrets deep

But they never will be put to sleep
