(Paroles : John Petrucci)

over and over again
i relive the moment
i'm bearing the burden within
open wounds hidden under my skin

pain is real as a cut that bleeds
the face i see every time i try to sleep
staring at me crying

[chorus]
i'm running from the enemy inside
looking for the life i left behind
these suffocating memories are etched upon my mind
and i can't escape from the enemy inside

i sever myself from the world
and shut down completely
all alone in my own living hell
overcome with irrational fear

under the weight of the world on my chest
i buckle and break as i try to catch my breath
tell me i'm not dying

[chorus]
i'm running from the enemy inside
looking for the life i left behind
these suffocating memories are etched upon my mind
and i can't escape from the enemy inside

i'm a burden and a travesty
i'm a prisoner of regret
between the flashbacks and the violent dreams
i am hanging on the edge

disaster lurks around the bend
paradise came to an end
and no magic pill
can bring it back again

[chorus]
i'm running from the enemy inside
looking for the life i left behind
these suffocating memories are etched upon my mind
and i can't escape from the enemy inside
