Howard Lawrence - The Enemy Inside lyrics

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
