Enemy

(album: Waylon & Willie IV - 2020)

(My only enemy is)
(My only enemy is)
(My only)

Woke up this morning
Said a prayer to the lord
And I know I really want peace
But I've been preparing for war
And I've been rolling and going
Just trying to work through the madness
And I know that deep inside of my soul's
Became a circus of sadness

Inside I feel hollow
Try to fill it up with this bottle
And I feel the poison take over
With every pill that I swallow
Tomorrow I'ma do better
Won't place the blame on whoever
No longer tear myself apart
I swear that it's a new era

Have you ever dealt with depression to the point you just sit and wail
Tell me
Have you ever really contemplated killing yourself
Well, me too
But it's something 'bout music makes me not feel alone
When I'm high
It's something happens during my favorite song
I realize

My only enemy is me
I'm up against something I can't beat
Well I'm good at putting on a show
But in my mind it ain't how it goes
My only enemy is me
(My only enemy is)
(My only)

Complicated but so simple
Been burning down my own temple
Lit the flame, arsonist
My warning signs aren't hard to miss
My biggest rival is a part of me
I'm guilty, baby, just pardon me
The warrior that's inside of me
Is always at war with the heart in me
And I oughta be a lot stronger (My only enemy)
We endured stuff that's been so tough
Pour my heart out of an empty bottle
To a full cup, all for what?
Cuz it spills over into the kitchen floor
Where I end up and I cry for more
My heart is yours but my mind is missing
My timing's late and that clock is ticking
Almost up but I'm not dipping (My only enemy)
I watch my step so I'm not tripping
But I still stumble and I fell in love
I'm crashing down, baby, catch me now
A train wreck at full speed
On a broken track, I can't hold me back
Crack a big smile to cover big pain
Of a little lie, that's a big fact
Because

My only enemy is me
I'm up against something I can't beat
Well I'm good at putting on a show
But in my mind it ain't how it goes
My only enemy is me

(My only enemy is)
(My only enemy is)
