you think you're free, but he trained you oh so well
he throws daggers
but he swears he's not a killer
because you're the one he sends out for blood
smoke in his toxins just to clear your thoughts
but the side effect, your own judgement is clouded, non existent
you think you win the battles
but bow down, he's the king of this war
look at your reflection
you'll see him staring back at you
because who you are is gone
he promised you gold
but all you have is fool's
and you can't notice the difference, because it still shines
but you no longer do
why do you have to be the enemy
i didn't step into this ring
you knock me down just to build yourself up
but do you realize you're no higher off the ground
it's all part of the illusion
illusion of the enemy
once upon a time you were my everything
and darling can't you see
the real enemy is not me
you tried to fight it at first
but his heroin needle was too tempting
you're a sinner
so now you live this devil's game
you sold your soul
to be on the cheating side of things
you think there's more chapters in your story
but under his rule
you're not moving anywhere
so welcome to his kingdom
you'll never get out alive
why do you have to be the enemy
i didn't step into this ring
you knock me down just to build yourself up
but do you realize you're no higher off the ground
it's all part of the illusion
illusion of the enemy
once upon a time you were my everything
and darling can't you see
the real enemy is not me
i once heard a rumor you were coming back around to your senses
but like all rumors it was just a hoax
not even love can save you from this evil thing now
why do you have to be the enemy
i didn't step into this ring
you knock me down just to build yourself up
but do you realize you're no higher off the ground
it's all part of the illusion
illusion of the enemy
once upon a time you were my everything
and darling can't you see
the real enemy is not me
