Enemy Lyrics by Chris Cornell

Scream

2009

[Verse 1]
Every time the blood runs to my head, I hear the ring
Something to remind me I'm not dead or caught in between
I listen to the voice and what it says, it's never sweet
Something I was born into, I guess, living in me

[Pre-Chorus]
No price, nothing I pay will make it alright
Nothing I see will make it lose sight
Nothing I take will make me sleep at night
Sleep at night

[Chorus]
When I look within I feel like I should be running, running, running, running
I will never sake this feeling till I feel nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
I am the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me, enemy, enemy, enemy
I am the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me, enemy, enemy, enemy

[Verse 2]
Every time I take another breath, I feel the sting
Everyone around me seems so numb, I feel everything

[Pre-Chorus]
No price, nothing I pay will make it alright
Nothing I see will make it lose sight
Nothing I take will make me sleep at night
Sleep at night

[Chorus]
When I look within I feel like I should be running, running, running, running
I will never sake this feeling till I feel nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
I am the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me, enemy, enemy, enemy
I am the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me, enemy, enemy, enemy

[Bridge]
Taking my time to untangle the wires and stare into my sanity
Dropping the hammer and pulling the trigger, I know now the bullet is me
I am the enemy inside of me

[Chorus]
I am the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me, enemy, enemy, enemy
I am the enemy, enemy, enemy inside of me, enemy, enemy, enemy
I am the enemy

[Outro: 'Other Side Of Town']
I should've left that side of town alone
I should've left that side of the town alone
I should've left that side of town alone
A long time ago
I should’ve left that side of town alone
I should’ve left that side of the town alone
I should’ve left that side of town alone
A long time ago
