[Lyric] The Enemy Inside (Dream Theater)

[Verse 1]
Over and over again
I relive the moment
I'm bearing the burden within
Open wounds hidden under my skin

Pain as real as a cut that bleeds
The face I see every time I try to sleep
Is staring at me crying

[Chorus]
I'm running from the enemy inside
Looking for the life I left behind
These suffocating memories
Are etched upon my mind
And I can't escape from the enemy inside

[Verse 2]
I sever myself from the world
And shut down completely
All alone in my own living hell
Overcome with irrational fear
Under the weight of the world on my chest
I buckle and break as I try to catch my breath
Tell me I'm not dying!

[Chorus]
I'm running from the enemy inside
Looking for the life I left behind
These suffocating memories
Are etched upon my mind
And I can't escape from the enemy inside

[Bridge]
I'm a burden, I'm a travesty
I'm a prisoner of regret
Between the flashbacks and the violent dreams
I am hanging on the edge

Disaster lurks around the bend
Paradise came to an end
And no magic pill
Can bring it back again

[Chorus]
I'm running from the enemy inside
Looking for the life I left behind
These suffocating memories
Are etched upon my mind
And I can't escape from the enemy inside
