Enemy

Help is on the way
We're solving all the problems we invent
Stirring up the ghosts in our heads

The shadow figures play
Into our fears and keep us up at night
Watch the vermin scatter as we turn on the lights
Backed into a corner
Ready for the fight

But I am not your enemy
I am not your friend
I am not your means to an end

I don't like this game
We're casting spells to try to break this curse
Like we're the center of the center of the center of the universe

No one has to play
We'll chew our words and spit them in the dirt
An empty fate, but I can think of worse
Backed into a corner, hit them where it hurts

But I am not the messenger
Or the sentiment you send
I am not your means to an end

A distant glow
We push to the heart of town while all the edges burn
The difference grows
With every secondhand story that we learn
Hold the line, keep the pressure at the gates
Help is on the way

I am not your innocence
Or your guilty conscience spin
I am not your means to an end

I am not your everything
Or your every now and then
I am not your means to an end
