Parables - My Enemies & I

Do you know the difference

Between being alive

And letting your heart burn out?

Breathing becomes a chore

And these empty spaces

Leave nothing but room for doubt

Inside your head

You’ve been trying to fill these pages

But nothing at all comes out

You’ve written your ending

But now you’re trapped inside

Every thought of you just pushes me down

You live your life like your bones are glass

Closed eyes for fear, the world may move to fast

You’re breaking under the weight

But it makes us who we are

Every time you think of me

I hope you choke on your own apathy

You’ll figure it out one day

Did I make you who you are?

Just hold your tongue

Because it’s every time you speak

You break your neck

Tripping over your own words

You live your life in fear

Was your heart still beating?

Were you even thinking

When he fed lines to your head?

When he found his way into your bed?

You live your life like your bones are glass

Closed eyes for fear, the world may move to fast

You’re breaking under the weight

But it makes us who we are

Every time you think of me

I hope you choke on your own apathy

You’ll figure it out one day

Did I make you who you are?

It makes us who we are

Did I make you who you are?

When you wake up, do you still dream

Or just live like the stories you tell me?

I hope you know that some people still care

It’s not me but I know they’re out there

Does the world just keep spinning

When you’re lying flat on your back?

Are you sure that you’re even awake?

Do you know that you’re my only mistake?

You live your life like your bones are glass

Closed eyes for fear, the world may move to fast

You’re breaking under the weight

But it makes us who we are

Every time you think of me

I hope you choke on your own apathy

You’ll figure it out one day

Did I make you who you are?

When you wake up, do you still dream

Or just live like the stories you tell me?

I hope you know that some people still care

It’s not me but I know they’re out there
