Enemy
Eldest 11 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got the mud out my eyes.
Now I see what you're really like.
Harmful by design.
That was short-lived because now I've arrived.

You're just a wolf practicing roles.
Saying what you need to fill all my holes, and you perforate.
(I saw you, I watched you take shape)
but your my mistake.

There's a duty, I'm still living!
Knowing how it all ends when it hurts time and time again,
but that's ALL...
It's an old story told time and time again...
Motherfuckers like to wiggle themselves in...
And then act like they're proud, tell you what you want...
Then run you in the ground...
USE, ABUSE, I GOT NOTHING LEFT,
BUT ME to make you whole...
USE, ABUSE, I GOT NOTHING LEFT,
BUT ME to make you whole...
Your my Enemy. You'll always be an Enemy...
There's a duty, I'm still living!
When it all ends... When it hurts time and time again,
but that's ALL...
And I know what you are! I'm still living!
And I know what you are!
I took the time to figure out...
why I burn.and Then I learned.
I got a pure heart, I got a pure heart.
That's why I always BURN...
Let me go I know who you really are...
No colors...
Inside I took the time to discover your disguise.




and your words, bleeding hearts.
The loving moments, and the scars...
