Enemy Within

[Verse]
Shadows on my shoulder, heavy as a boulder,
Cold war in my chest, I'm the soldier and controller.
Mind's a maze, I'm pacing, tracing every corner,
No exit sign, just echoes getting warmer.
Voices overlap like static on the wire,
Burning in my head, my own thoughts conspire.
Each turn a dead end, the loop replays,
A prisoner in my skull, can't escape the haze.
[Prechorus]
Who lit the match that sparked this fire?
Who’s the liar, who’s the crier?
[Chorus]
Enemy within, I'm my own sin,
Trapped in the mirror, can't break in.
Searching for peace, but the battle won't cease,
The war’s with me, the war’s with me.
[Verse 2]
Maze got no map, just questions that linger,
Tangled in the threads of my mind’s cold fingers.
She whispers doubt, I scream back, “No!”,
But the echo fights back, toe-to-toe.
I'm the villain and the hero, the zero and the flame,
The architect and the rubble, the pride and the shame.
Every step I take, I'm chasing my shadow,
Peace ain't a meadow, it's a war-torn battle.
