My Enemy
Confronting Shadows: Awake At Last's Battle Within
Lyrics
I'm climbing through the noise above me
I am navigating through the chaos above me.
I'm reaching for a hand to feed
I am searching for support or guidance.
I can't control the world below me
I lack control over the world beneath me.
Possessed by all the blood we need
Overwhelmed by the necessity for sustenance (blood metaphorically).
The voices in the air surrounding
Awareness of influencing voices in the surroundings.
Are telling me what I believe
External influences shaping personal beliefs.
I can't control the world below my feet
Struggle to control the environment beneath.
I'll learn to take a breath and be
Commitment to learning resilience and composure.
A slave to the war
Feeling bound as a participant in a conflict.
A slave to a means
Subjugation to a method or process.
Of breathing cause I know what's killing me
Surviving despite the knowledge of harm.
I know I'm alive, I know I can see
Acknowledging existence and perception.
But tell my why I can't learn to believe in my enemy
Questioning the inability to trust or believe in adversaries.
I'm swimming through the void of meaning
Navigating a space without clear purpose or significance.
The emptiness inside of me
Feeling an internal void and lack of fulfillment.
It's burning like a fire igniting
Experiencing intense and painful emotions.
This mess of me I hate to see
Confronting undesirable aspects of oneself.
I'm a slave to the war
Being constrained by involvement in a conflict.
A slave to a means
Submission to a method or approach.
Of breathing cause I know what's killing me
Surviving despite the awareness of harm.
I know I'm alive, I know I can see
Acknowledging existence and perception.
But tell my why I can't learn to believe in my enemy
Questioning the inability to trust or believe in adversaries.
I feel like a ghost left alone
Feeling isolated and disconnected, like a ghost.
Cause what I wanted the most took my soul
The pursuit of desires led to the loss of one's essence.
I'm selling all I know for glory
Sacrificing knowledge for the allure of glory.
While breaking every part of me
Dismantling oneself while striving for success.
I'm bound by my determination
Constrained by unwavering resolve or ambition.
A soul for sale is all I'll be
Reduced to a commodity for exchange.
I'm a slave to the war
Being constrained by involvement in a conflict.
A slave to a means
Submission to a method or approach.
Of breathing cause I know what's killing me
Surviving despite the awareness of harm.
I know I'm alive, I know I can see
Acknowledging existence and perception.
But tell my why I can't learn to believe in my enemy
Questioning the inability to trust or believe in adversaries.
I feel like a ghost left alone
Feeling isolated and disconnected, like a ghost.
Cause what I wanted the most took my soul
The pursuit of desires led to the loss of one's essence.
I know I'm alive, I know I can see
Acknowledging existence and perception.
But tell my why I can't learn to believe in my enemy
Questioning the inability to trust or believe in adversaries.
