Dream Theater – The Enemy Inside


[Verse I]
Em
Over and over again
             Bm
I relive the moment
    C
I'm bearing the burden within
     D
Open wounds hidden under my skin

Em 
Pain is real as a cut that bleeds
Bm                                 Am
The face I see every time I try to sleep
Bm            Em
Staring at me crying

[Chorus]
C                    Am    Em
I'm running from the enemy inside
C               Am          Em
Looking for the life I left behind
C                 Am           Em             D
These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind
Bm                          Am    Em
And I can't escape from the enemy inside

Em
I sever myself from the world
              Bm
and shut down completely
      C
All alone in my own living hell
     D
overcome with irrational fear

Em                         
Under the weight of the world on my chest
Bm                                      Am
I buckle and break as I try to catch my breath
Bm              Em
Tell me I'm not dying

[Chorus]
C                    Am    Em
I'm running from the enemy inside
C               Am          Em
Looking for the life I left behind
C                 Am           Em             D
These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind
Bm                          Am    Em
And I can't escape from the enemy inside

[Break]
Em                 Bm
I'm a burden and a travesty
F                 Em
I'm a prisoner of regret
Em                             Bm
Between the flashbacks and the violent dreams
F                   Em
I am hanging on the edge

C                         Em
Disaster lurks around the bend
G                   Am
Paradise came to an end
F            Em
And no magic pill
C                 Em
can bring it back again

[Chorus]
C                    Am    Em
I'm running from the enemy inside
C               Am          Em
Looking for the life I left behind
C                 Am           Em             D
These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind
Bm                          Am    Em
And I can't escape from the enemy inside
