The Enemy Within Lyrics

Things crawl in the darkness

 That imagination spins

 Needles at your nerve ends

 Crawl like spiders on your skin

 

 Pounding in your temples

 And a surge of adrenaline

 Every muscle tense to fence the enemy within

 

 [Chorus:]

 I'm not giving in to security under pressure

 I'm not missing out on the promise of adventure

 I'm not giving up on implausible dreams

 Experience to extremes

 Experience to extremes...

 

 Suspicious looking stranger

 Flashes you a dangerous grin

 Shadows across your window...

 Was it only trees in the wind?

 

 Every breath a static charge,

 A tongue that tastes like tin

 Steely-eyed outside to hide the enemy within

 

 To you, is it movement or is it action?

 Is it contact or just reaction?

 And you...revolution or just resistance?

 Is it living, or just existence?

 Yeah, you! It takes a little more persistence

 To get up and go the distance

 

 [Chorus]
