I've Become The Enemy

I've become the enemy oh no
No don't believe their fallacy
I didn't mean to
Thought I'd be the remedy but no
Fallen cold and trembling just lost
Fearful instincts took me over
I've become the enemy
Regretful patterns take their prideful place
Surviving underneath
Believe me when I say it's not who
I meant to be
Forgiveness can be bittersweet you know
Takes more than the humility you show
Yes I'll admit that I gave in
Went off to war and didn't win
Guess it's what they mean by slavery to sin
Fearful instincts took me over
I've become the enemy
Regretful patterns take their prideful place
Surviving underneath
Believe me when I say it's not who
I meant to be
I believe that you can save me from this spell
This fallen world that I've created far too well
I saw my mirror, nothing looked quite like myself
A hand behind me reaches for the chains I held
My demons fall and I stand rightly where they fell
Clothed in light I look on up to see myself, see myself
