Best Enemy

I let you get too close, I let my guard down
And I can still listen and hear the sound
A reoccurring nightmare, a constant replaying dream
I said I would never let anyone get the best of me

I will extinguish this fire that burns in my chest
With the water that flows from my heart, I will confess
I am a magnet for the lost, the broken, the incomplete
These monsters want to feed on my defeat

But I won’t back down, I can’t give up
You are my Judas and we drink from the same cup
It was foretold that one day he would come back for us
A vengeful god waiting in the clouds to call our bluff

And here I am, alone in this crowd
Their faces look so distinguished and proud
And as the tide rolls in, I close my eyes tight
Holding on to you, a past brought to light

And if I believe in your magic will I be set free?
Will these murderers and betrayers let me be?
There once was a time I called you my friend
But I am not sure if I could ever believe that lie again
