Staring At The Enemy

Verse 1: I built these walls with rusted nails From promises that turned to dust Every name that I exhaled Became a name I couldn't trust Whispers crawling through the cracks Like spiders spinning lies I bought Now I'm standing in the aftermath Wondering what the silence cost   Chorus: Staring at the enemy Though the panes of broken glass And all the ones who are dead to me I left them in the past  Now the mirror shows their faces Cracked reflections in the light I still taste the bitter traces Of every single fight   Verse 2: They smile like wolves in borrowed skin Pretending that the blood's not there I counted every loss and win But victory just left me bare The fire that once kept me warm Now burns the bridges I once crossed I'm learning how to weather storms With nothing but the lessons lost   Chorus: Staring at the enemy Though the panes of broken glass And all the ones who are dead to me I left them in the past  Now the mirror shows their faces Cracked reflections in the light I still taste the bitter traces Of every single fight  Bridge What if the enemy was never them? What if the shards were cutting me instead? I drag these ghosts across the floor They weigh like stones I can't ignore But tonight the glass is gonna break And I'll decide what stays and what I forsake   Final Chorus: Staring at the enemy Though the panes of broken glass And all the ones who are dead to me I left them in the past  Now the mirror shows their faces Cracked reflections in the light I still taste the bitter traces Of every single fight   Outro: Staring at the enemy... Through the panes of broken glass... All the ones who are dead to me... They're fading in the past...  They're fading... They're fading... In the past...
