"My Enemy" lyrics - JIMMY EAT WORLD

JIMMY EAT WORLD
"My Enemy"

The story is common
So plain we pass by often
All motion defeated
By endless what-if questions
Obvious, we own it
Our anxious scars and bruises
Heavy hands swing slowly
With weight of our own choosing, now...

We know but can't believe it's easy as it sounds
We know but always told if we let go we drown

(Know what you're really afraid of)
We know but can't believe it's easy as it sounds
(Know what you're really afraid of)
We know but always told if we let go we drown

Thirsty for comfort
Too proud to ask for answers
Libraries of suggestion
The loudest voice is hidden
Obvious, so simple
Action makes for removal
Heavy heart, bad posture
Collapse and falling under, now...

We know but can't believe it's easy as it sounds
We know but always told if we let go we drown

(Know what you're really afraid of)
We know but can't believe it's easy as it sounds
(Know what you're really afraid of)
We know but always told if we let go we drown

Your condition
Fake direction
(Everyone, except yourself)
Is no protection

You feel the tide is rising
That water's cold as hell
Think enemies surround you
Everyone, except yourself
(Everyone, except yourself)
Everyone, except yourself

(Know what you're really afraid of)
We know but can't believe it's easy as it sounds
(Know what you're really afraid of)
We know but always told if we let go we drown
We know but always told if we let go we drown
We know but always told if we let go we drown
We know!
