the enemy within

[Verse 1]
The mirror shows a face I don't recognize,
Too many thoughts, too many lies.
I fight myself, I’m caught in my mind,
Chasing a peace I can’t seem to find.
I hear the whispers, I hear them loud,
Telling me I’m nothing, that I’m not allowed.
I try to rise, but I fall again,
My own worst enemy, it's where it begins.

[Pre-Chorus]
These thoughts they push, they pull me down,
I try to stand, but I just drown.
I fear their words, I fear their gaze,
I’m lost in this internal maze.

[Chorus]
I’m my own enemy, trapped in my head,
Doubt’s the voice that I’m constantly fed.
I try to break free, but I’m stuck in this fight,
When will I see I’m worth the light?

[Verse 2]
I second-guess every word I speak,
Wondering if I’ll be seen as weak.
They’re watching, they’re judging, but I can't tell,
If it’s real or if it’s just my personal hell.
I build these walls, I shut them out,
Afraid to show them what I’m about.
But deep inside, there’s a voice that screams,
"You’re stronger than this, you can chase your dreams."

[Pre-Chorus]
These thoughts they push, they pull me down,
I try to stand, but I just drown.
I fear their words, I fear their gaze,
I’m lost in this internal maze.

[Chorus]
I’m my own enemy, trapped in my head,
Doubt’s the voice that I’m constantly fed.
I try to break free, but I’m stuck in this fight,
When will I see I’m worth the light?

[Verse 3]
I’m suffocated by this doubt,
Every step I take, it pulls me down.
But I see a glimmer, a flicker of light,
And I know deep down, I’m ready to fight.
The chains that bind, they’re not so strong,
I’ll stand up tall, I’ll prove them wrong.
The battle is mine, and it’s just begun,
I’ll rise above, I’ll see the sun.

[Verse 4]
I’ve been lost in the noise, the endless war,
Fighting myself, can’t take it anymore.
But I’m learning to listen to the voice within,
The one that whispers, “It’s time to begin.”
The scars I wear, they’re part of me,
A reminder of strength, of what I can be.
I won’t give up, I won’t back down,
I’m taking my place, I’m standing my ground.

[Bridge]
I hear the lies, but I won’t believe,
I’ll silence the fear, I’ll start to breathe.
I’ll fight through the noise, find my own voice,
The enemy within, I’ll make the choice.

[Chorus]
I’m my own enemy, trapped in my head,
Doubt’s the voice that I’m constantly fed.
I try to break free, but I’m stuck in this fight,
When will I see I’m worth the light?

[Outro]
I’ll fight the enemy within,
Break these chains, let the light in.
The battle’s not over, but I’ll rise,
I’ll silence the doubt, I’ll reach for the skies.
