Enemy lyrics

After we spoke, I had a dream that I broke

the teeth from a mouth of a snake.

Then I choked on the teeth,

they were mine all along.

I picked up the pieces when I woke up,

put them in a boat made of things 

that I don't wanna see.

I blew on the sail,

watched it drift out to sea.

The further it drifted, the closer it came to me.

I can't explain.

So I took it apart in a billion boxes,

but there was only one key.

You might think I'm your enemy,

but that don't make you mine.

And all I have now is empathy,

I wish that you'd stop tryin'.

Oh, please stop lyin'.

Stop ly-ly-ly-ly-ly-ly-ly-...

ly-ly-ly-lyin'.

I put the hatred in the box, 

then I locked it, 

the strongest one I made.

I buried it all, grew a tree without thorns

and sat beneath its shade.

You might think I'm your enemy,

but that don't make you mine.

And all I have now is empathy,

I wish that you'd stop tryin'.

Oh, please stop lyin'.

Please stop ly-ly-ly-ly-ly-ly-ly-...

ly-ly-ly-lyin'.

Ly-ly-ly-ly-ly-ly-ly-...

ly-ly-ly-lyin'.
