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
[Refrão]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
[Refrão]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
