*Verse 1*
I see the shadow in the mirror grin
A hollow face beneath my skin
Every scar, every broken vow
Comes crawling back to drag me down
I built this cage with my bare hands
Turned my dreams into wastelands
No savior waits beyond the flames
Only me to curse my name
*Pre-Chorus*
Every step I take
Another chain I make
The war inside my head
Leaves another part of me dead
*Chorus*
I AM MY OWN WORST ENEMY
The voice that pulls the trigger in me
A thousand knives beneath my skin
The battle starts where I begin
I tear myself apart again
No mercy from the beast within
I scream, but no one hears the plea
I AM MY OWN WORST ENEMY
*Verse 2*
Paranoia feeds the fire
Fueling every dark desire
I sabotage the light I find
A prison built inside my mind
Every failure carved in stone
Every road I walk alone
I wear the guilt like shattered steel
A wound that never learned to heal
*Pre-Chorus*
Every bridge I burn
Another lesson never learned
The devil I can’t kill
Is the one inside me still
*Chorus*
I AM MY OWN WORST ENEMY
The voice that pulls the trigger in me
A thousand knives beneath my skin
The battle starts where I begin
I tear myself apart again
No mercy from the beast within
I scream, but no one hears the plea
I AM MY OWN WORST ENEMY
*Breakdown*
LOOK INTO MY EYES
SEE THE HATE I CAN’T DENY
I’VE BEEN DIGGING MY OWN GRAVE
EVERY CHOICE — A SLAVE
NO GODS
NO PEACE
NO ESCAPE
FROM ME
*Bridge*
But from the ashes of regret
I’ll become what fear won’t forget
If I survive the storm inside
Maybe I won’t have to hide
*Final Chorus*
I WAS MY OWN WORST ENEMY
But I won’t let it bury me
These scars became my battle cry
I refuse to fade and die
Though darkness lives inside my veins
I’ll rise above the endless pain
No longer chained to misery
I’M MORE THAN MY OWN ENEMY
*Outro*
The mirror cracks…
The shadow fades…
And I walk through the fire I made.
