Enemies

(album: Party Adjacent - 2015)

Alarm is set
There's so much to undo
If the morning comes I will rise and shine like someone you never knew
And for what it's worth
I know that it will take work
But I want what's real, now I finally feel like it doesn't have to hurt

We put up this house
I guess I built some walls too high
We can knock 'em down, we'll be alright, just sleep under the sky
We can make it work
We'll soak it in just like the earth
Think how much we'll grow, I'll stand up straight and the universe will know

That I don't wanna be the reason that you're not happy
I'm just happy to be here breathing the same air you do
Was never crazy 'bout believing, but believe me you were right
I might just happen to keep my best enemies right here inside

Between the buzzard and the bell
I'll wring 'em both by the neck
I'm telling one to go to hell
And the other, I just ain't ready yet

I gotta fix your broken bridge
I gotta repost all the signs
I know I'm gonna get it right
I just need a little time
No, I don't wanna be the reason that you're not happy
I'm just happy to be here breathing the same air you do
Was never crazy 'bout believing, but believe me you were right
I might just happen to keep my best enemies right here inside

Built some walls too high
We can knock 'em down and sleep under the sky
