The Enemy

I've been struggling to fit in
For as long as I remember
And every time I tried
I felt like a pretender
out of place in my own skin
even when I've been accepted
being buried in my thoughts
I fail to get connected
my head is like a chamber
that's dangerous to enter
my mind is my tormentor
I can't shake it off
I fear that I can't break free
from my unrelenting nemesis
Can't fight this demon deep inside of me
So I am falling victim to myself
I know I'm not like the others
but sometimes I wish I was
they're all friends and lovers
while I'm just cold and numb
I think I'm craving closeness
but I can't break this resistance
and nobody ever noticed
my eyes lost in the distance
my thoughts are like a virus
destructive and desirous
devouring me alive
and I can't shake them off
I fear that I can't break free
From my unrelenting nemesis
Can't fight this demon deep inside of me
So I am falling victim to myself
I'm hosting the enemy
the enemy
sitting in my head
sitting in my head
no remedy
no remedy
no I can't break free
hosting the enemy
the enemy
sitting in my head
sitting in my head
no remedy
no remedy
'cause I'm hosting my enemy
I know something is wrong with me
but I was born this way
it's taken control of me
and I can't help myself
why am I lonely in company
in every single place
how can I fight an enemy
who never shows their face
I fear that I can't break free
From my unrelenting nemesis
Can't fight this demon deep inside of me
So I am falling victim to myself
I'm hosting the enemy
the enemy
sitting in my head
sitting in my head
no remedy
no remedy
no I can't break free
hosting the enemy
the enemy
sitting in my head
sitting in my head
no remedy
no remedy
'cause I'm hosting my enemy
