Enemy

Running out of time
Running out of common sense
He’s too far gone -
Instead of waiting
Or barely hesitating
He’s sprinting
Bolting
Barrelling

Hoping not for worst
As he flies in head long first
Cold cadaver hands
Fires up his saw
Cranking up the heat
Waiting for a sign
Looking for the change to come

This enemy -
When you can’t decide
Whether to run or hide
Live in infamy -
When I have it in for you
This monster is hunting

He wanders in the night
He’s fallen to his knees
A broken, pitiful sight;
Just help him darling please

Only takes one shock
Wasn’t really very much to make it whole
But instead of making sure
He added just one more
And it woke up something from before

This enemy -
When you can’t decide
Whether to run or hide
Live in infamy -
When I have it in for you
This monster is hunting

Was it just a game
Where the rules were long forgotten?
Throw off all the blame
Or was it too much to bother?

Run away, run and don’t look back
Run until your legs won’t take you further
Stay away, stay off the beaten track
‘til you find what helps the guilt from murder

We turn it around
Joke and laughing about
Burning inside and out
But nothings left to hold

This enemy -
When you can’t decide
Whether to run or hide
Live in infamy -
When I have it in for you
This monster is hunting
This enemy -
When you can’t decide
Whether to run or hide
Live in infamy -
When I have it in for you
This monster is hunting

Fortune that favours
The ones who are bold

Falsehoods and players;
Fiction unfolds

This enemy -
When you can’t decide
Whether to run or hide
Live in infamy -
When I have it in for you
This monster is hunting
This enemy -
When you can’t decide
Whether to run or hide
Live in infamy -
When I have it in for you
This monster is hunting
