Everyone Is My Enemy
Taught not to trust at a very young age
Lessons like lashes subtracted the sane
Stabbed in the back with one billion rusty blades
Visions they stayed violent...like volcanoes spewing what's vulgar and vane
Sometimes the ugly and unholy is all my eyes can see
When everyone is my enemy
Running like a rat inside the rattlesnakes ritual
Every turn that I take gets deeper and darker inside a dragons den
Just like a mouse lost in a mudermaze
I hear an audience laughing as a track starts to play
Fear comes fast like a flood and turns into flames
Pulsing mad paranoia...my pride is sure to pay
My soul gets spent looking for an exit
Shocked and sizzled looking for an escape
When everyone is my enemy
Snapped like a stick now my screams turn so savage
I take another detour to avoid danger and damage
My mind I can't manage...miswired...misled and maimed
I strap on a solution to this problem of pain
The timebomb ticks and tocks and today is the day
I can hear the sirens scream as I curse the crime scene
Now it's end game
I took many evil ones with me into eternity
Can I get a pair of wonderous wings?...
When everyone is my enemy
