The Enemy Inside Lyrics - Singles - Howard Lawrence

Someone let you down 

Dealt you a hand you couldn't play out 

Made you afraid of life 

Gave you a reason for raising your knife 

But something brought you here 

You don't know what it is or whether it's real 

Like hourglass sand you're falling through space 

Searching for clues so you know what to chase 

Don't look around for a four leaf clover 

Don't get attached to your fortune cookie 

Nothing can save you from drowning your faith 

Or hatching a plot for the ultimate escape 

But everything you need is there staring back at you 

Once you let go of the enemy inside 

Everyone's waiting...we're all here to catch you 

So give yourself a gift-let go of the enemy inside 

Swimming against the tide 

You put your thumb out and got taken for a ride 

Lost all your dignity 

The audience laughed at your pleas for humanity 

Sometimes it helps to eat dirt 

With a newborn's perspective you'll rarely get hurt 

Just keep one eye open in case of attack 

Coz even your friends can put a gun to your back 

Don't be surprised when the storm flies over 

Don't burn the leaves on your neighbor's timetable 

Nothing can keep you from losing your touch 

Dark chocolate everyday? 

Hmmm....that's a bit too much! 

When all you need is me in there staring back at you 

You can let go of the enemy inside 

Don't keep us waiting for you to decide 

Listen to your heart-let go of the enemy inside 

Haven't you made a big fool of yourself? 

Even a blind man can see you need help 

Remind me to book the next date 

So you can rediscover what's been left on your plate 

Show you the rhythm machine 

If you get up and dance there's a chance you'll be seen 

Leave your computer alone 

It's a crutch and you know it-your chair ain't a throne 

How long has it been? 

Such a long time to waste 

Put the glass to your lips-all you need is one taste
