On “The Enemy”, Eric Vanlerberghe and Brian Burkheiser take back their power, stomping right back on the person that’s oppressed them for so long.
[Verse 1: Eric Vanlerberghe]
Held down, you've held me down too long
Push me back on the ground, now it's my time to right your wrong
Shut up, this is my turn now
You're just the hypocrite that's always tried to put me down
[Pre-Chorus: Brian Burkheiser]
Take, take, take from me, that's all you ever do
You've taken everything, now I'm taking part of you
Run, run, run from me, it's too bad you can't see
I've got you in my sights and I'm ready to unleash
I'll take time to breathe
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser]
Now, now that I see
I've lost so many battles from wars that you waged on me
But this is the moment, it's time you know it
I'm gonna make you my enemy
[Verse 2: Eric Vanlerberghe]
Laid out, placed right in front of you
But you're a parasite and I'm the host you latched on to
The fire you set, left ashes surrounding
The world that I knew, you left burning around me
[Pre-Chorus: Brian Burkheiser]
Wait, wait, wait you'll see, you've been so damn naive
You think you run the show, but I have to disagree
Break, break break you down
Go ahead take off your crown
It's time to lose control, like a fucking animal
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser]
Now, now that I see
I've lost so many battles from wars that you waged on me
But this is the moment, it's time you know it
I'm gonna make you my enemy
[Hook: Eric Vanlerberghe and Brian Burkheiser]
Listen you're worthless, let me make this clear
I'm done with betrayal, I'm done with the fear
You had the cards, but now it's time to fold
Now hear out these words, and do what you're told!
[Breakdown]
Do what you're told!
Do what you're fucking told!
[Bridge: Brian Burkheiser]
Now, now that I see
I've lost so many battles from all that you did to me
But this is the moment, it's time you know it
I'm gonna make you my enemy
[Hook: Eric Vanlerberghe and Brian Burkheiser]
Listen you're worthless, let me make this clear
I'm done with betrayal, I'm done with the fear
You had the cards, but now it's time to fold
Now hear out these words, and do what you're told!
[Outro: Brian Burkheiser and Eric Vanlerberghe]
Now, now that I see
I've lost so many battles from wars that you waged on me
(Do what you're told!)
But this is the moment, it's time you know it
I'm gonna make you my enemy
I'm gonna make you my enemy!
