My Own Worst Enemy
L.I.T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something wicked.. this way comes
Muscles rigid… soon succumb
To madness canvas my fear stand strong
I’m scared the worst is..still to come
Been down on my luck for too long
Been trying to get up
Blaming my demons I’m weak in the knees..numb
I’ll fear no evil cus the place I’m from
They’ll put two in a Motherfucker
While paying with their son
Through the aperture I see a glimmer of light…
Out of my reach it’ll surely die…
Why would anybody give up
In the face of enemies
My anger is a catalyst
Obstructing any clarity
Pull the rug from underneath my feet
If pain’s a drug I have a need for speed
Let my brain unplug so I may proceed
With my magnum opus til it’s complete
I’ll meet…
My maker danger I’m no stranger to
These heinous demons beckoning me to
Come face to face embrace reckoning who
Am I to God my pride’s misconstrued
I might pay the price tonight I’m with you
Look me in the eyes my lies you’d uproot
Seems I missed a spot the plot demands truth
I’ll face you now

Let me in let me see
The pain you’re carrying
Look within can’t you see
The pain you’re sowing
If family means everything
You’d seek out therapy
You’re your worst enemy
It’s time you noticed

Sinking deeper
Heart grows weaker
Drinking ether
To soar the skies
Fragile masculinity
Cry at night
How am I a leader when
I chose flight
Save your sound advice for someone
Who needs Christ
Listen to the guy who wouldn’t
Bat an eye
To cut off everybody
Cus the matter of the fact
Is nobody’s gonna follow
When you’re pushing past abstract
Chasing time is my past time
When I hit the ground I’ll know
It’s my time
All I did was grind
Fuck a suit and tie
I know someday I’ll look back
And fucking wonder why
I put myself above
My family all this time
When I should’ve been
More selfless my third eye’s
Blinded by emotion
Logic is denied
What I feel inside
Is suicide
I got a feeling the ceiling is gonna cave in
My foundations are rocky it’s why I’m shaking
But
I’ve gotta keep pushing although I’m breaking
Breaking down…
I don’t mean to keep burying all of my dark shit
Whether you love it or hate it you’re gonna watch this
Something wicked lurks in me…
Why won’t you

Let me in let me see
The pain you’re carrying
Look within can’t you see
The pain you’re sowing
If family means everything
You’d seek out therapy




You’re your worst enemy
It’s time you noticed
