Who is the enemy? Is it the other, you yourself, is the enemy fictional, are humans themselves their worst enemies?

lyrics

Enemy

In the middle of the night
he woke up in the dark
a voice called out to him
coming from the bedroom wall

He knew he heard the impossible
because he was born stone deaf
he wondered if it was a dream
or was he finally going mad

The voice called out his name
called him ten times in a row
then ended with screaming out loud
He's the enemy! He is so.

He knew the voice was right
indeed, he was the enemy
he had been all his life
and now he was exposed

He did not turn the light on
he stayed in bed in the dark
hoping the voice would cease
wishing it would go away

But it was his own brain
screaming out his name
tired of the quiet stillness
the silent lonelyness

He is the enemy
he is the enemy
and I'm stuck inside him
inside my enemy

He is the enemy
he is the enemy
I'm a prisoner
of my enemy

He's the enemy
he's the enemy
I'm the enemy
Inside my enemy

Wishing he would go away
