Friendly Fire

About how haters ultimately become enemies of themselves.

Doors slamming left and right

The light fades into black

Now I call on the highest knight

The one who is sent in when all hope is gone

He finds that place in my heart where I hide the weapons cache

Lock and load, I got my back up, time to start pounding down doors

Time for invitation has ran out, I don’t have time to worry, no time for sorrow

The flood gate is about to be breached, can’t you see we are on Defcon 1

You can’t hide from this one, it’s gonna find what you got inside

There’s no one you can count on to help you find the divide

Splitting you from you, only in yourself can you confide

Making you the target of this inner genocide

All I asked for was a chance for you to be able to see inside me

See beyond this tired body and see the light inside

But I’m afraid that you were blind

Now you get to bear the weight of what I really am

The only thing I’m sorry for is believing that I alone could make you soar

Now that I’m aware of what you are and how dark is your core

My light is not bright enough by itself

Now I’m fading out of myself and hiding my body

Thud the bullet hits your chest

Ha-ha didn’t think it was possible?

Now on your knees you rest

Don’t know who fired the shot?

Disbelief; it’s the bullet you fired yourself and it locates its mark

When first ricochets off my heart and is happily returned to yours

I wasn’t the enemy, but it sure does seem to me

You’ve lost your sanity and never got it back

So now you’re so twisted in yourself, you’re just a knot in the rope that I climb
