Enemy

Vacancy, the object of my hatred has abandoned me

The feeling's welling up with some urgency

It's gotta have a place to go, to go go go

The energy, surrender to the presence taking over me

I welcome in the focus that is driving me

Release brings peace by piece by piece

Stronger vessel might transform

Force it to take another form

I've got to have an enemy

Place to aim the hate inside of me

You were in the wrong place at the wrong time

It was only a matter of how

Scars I bear, a target of the hatred from someone who shared

these feelings and a failure to control them where

A child not a man was there, was there, there, there

The child she grew, inherited the hatred that lived on in you

Unable to break free so it continues

The hate lives on, and on, and on

Stronger vessel might transform

Force it to take another form

I've got to have an enemy

Place to aim the hate inside of me

You were in the wrong place at the wrong time

It was only a matter of how

Release brings peace by piece by piece

Love is a child's default state

Violence turns that love to hate

And I've got to let it go

I've got to have an enemy

Place to aim the hate inside of me

You were in the wrong place at the wrong time

It was only a matter of how

I've got to have an enemy

Place to aim the hate inside of me

You were in the wrong place at the wrong time

It was only a matter of how
