Your Own Worst Enemy

I watch you while you sleep Infecting your dreams You can't run away from me I'm always waiting for you

You're a failure at everything There's no place for you here Behind the false smiles Everyone wants you to leave

Fear isn't the bad guy It's what keeps you safe Be afraid of everything And nothing will hurt you

Don't trust them, trust me They'll hurt you, I know it You're not worth saving Nor protecting nor praising

Kindness exists in fairy tales But this is the real world It's cold and unforgiving And love is only a weakness

So stick with me for protection I guarantee you'll be fine After all misery loves company And we've got nothing but time
