Real Enemy
Only Crime Lyrics

Once upon a time I believed I could change the world but I was wrong
I used to have faith in myself and thought I could make a difference, but reality has proven me wrong.

Finding solace in the vitriol and the anti-social context for so long
I have been seeking comfort in negativity and isolation for a considerable period of time.

Cursed to keep gazing backward
I am plagued by continuous thoughts of the past.

And never never look ahead
I have been unable to move forward or anticipate the future.

A pitchfork of a destination
I am headed towards a violent and uncertain future.

Submerged in a sea of red
I am trapped and suffocating in a situation filled with danger and anger.

These nightmares never go away
I cannot escape from the horrors of my past experiences.

Still bound by chains of self decay
I am still struggling with the negative consequences of my own actions and thoughts.

To simply saturate and bleed
I am trying to rid myself of the toxic thoughts and emotions that are consuming me.

Out the seeds of a new address
I am trying to plant the seeds for a new and better future for myself.

We're charged with the destruction of those static molds
We are tasked with breaking down the conventional and outdated ways of thinking and doing things.

We choose to build a union from the old
Instead of completely rejecting the past, we choose to build something new that incorporates the best aspects of it.

I feel my heart grow cold
I can feel myself becoming more detached and indifferent towards others.

To my surprise I fatalize
To my surprise, I have been making myself vulnerable to danger and harm.

And fail to soil the merchandise
Despite my belief that I could protect myself, I have failed.

We've swept away all the faintest hooks
We have eliminated all the subtle traps and obstacles that used to hold us back.

From the grasp of tomorrows fold
We have been able to break free from the limitations of the future.

Outside your windows down your lonely broken streets
In the desolate and lonely streets outside of your window,

Cross the paths with the sterile minions of anachronistic beats
you will come across the lifeless followers of outdated and irrelevant music.

So cleanse my mind of discontent
I am asking to have my mind cleared of negativity and dissatisfaction.

Declare all the lines as heaven sent
I want to believe that everything I am experiencing is divinely inspired and for a greater purpose.

Weeding out the sickness I can feel
I am trying to remove the toxic and unhealthy elements from my life.

Tell me all night how it can't be real
I want someone to convince me that the pain and suffering I am feeling is not real.

Spend all night caring only for the words
I am consumed by the abstract and symbolic meanings of language.

Blame it on the new kids chewing on their nerves
I am accusing the younger generation of being anxious and responsible for my own problems.

Forget about the piss drunks putting out the fires
I do not want to acknowledge the ignorant and foolish actions of those who are trying to solve problems by making them worse.

Sucking on the nacro sending out the wires
I am being controlled and manipulated by drugs and technology.

Some thing I won't forget
There are certain things that I cannot erase from my memory.

Cry - it's over
I am crying because something important has ended or been lost.

Die - it's over
I feel like a part of me has died with the end of something significant.

Flames reach out and lick my face
I am surrounded by physical and emotional danger.

I'm falling some days are grace
Even in the midst of turmoil, some days can be beautiful or meaningful.

Cry out steal signs
I am shouting out for help and guidance.

Burning they take it to the nines
The people who are causing pain and destruction are doing it with extreme intensity and enthusiasm.
