Enemy

by Timil Deeps - Cancer

It's good to know who the enemy is
One goal to push away
But the enemy is within me
So know matter how quiet I speak
It always hears what I say

Under my skin: Below my heart
When I stop, it just starts

I can't kick it or push it
Because I'd only be beating myself up
I can't yell or scream at it
Because my only wish is for it to shut up

I can be in full denial
But it still knows the truth
I can block everything out
But yet it still never moves

Under my skin: Below my heart
When I stop, it just starts

I can't run away from it
And I can't limit the selection
Because it's always there staring at me
In the mirror's reflection
