ENEMY WITHIN
lyrics: J. Morse © 1983
Where are you my friend?
Are you hiding under my bed?
Are you running around in my head?
I can't find you, my friend
A constant companion
With you every day
Urges you to hit the bottle
And there's nothing you can say
'cause he won't listen to you
The more you plead, the more he eats at you
He's the enemy, the enemy within
And the battle's just about to begin
He's the enemy, the enemy within you
It's not too late, please try to win
You come home, can't find the key
Stumble in, stick your hand through the TV
Into the bathroom, lean over the bowl
And try to talk to him, strip him from your soul
But it's no use. . .
'cause he won't listen to you
The more you plead, the more he eats at you
He's the enemy, the enemy within
And the battle's just about to begin
He's the enemy, the enemy within you
It's not too late, please try to win
Tonight, stay home, forget about the bar
Try to relax, and remember who you are
Defeat the enemy, by making yourself your own
Shut him out, and leave him without a home. . .
