The Enemy Within - Cherry Poppin' Daddies

He’s my evil twin.

He’s the enemy inside me

It’s me against him and I hate his wicked grin

But we’re brothers to the end

He will break your heart but I’ll do my best to stop him

He’s ticking like a bomb

I adore you but he forks his tongue

I’m just not myself today

I’m not myself today

I try to smile, but the creature lurks right below

I just can’t keep the lid on of the enemy in my soul

He tears down all the things I worked so hard for

I’m gonna get my gun and kill the enemy within

Round and around I go

Caught by the undertow

I can’t escape myself at midnight

Footsteps and shadows swirl

The prince of the underworld

Chases me through the fog at midnight

At midnight (x3)

I’m just not myself today (x5)

He wants you to approve

Fears he will be called a failure

He plays cat and mouse with you

But I don’t know who is more the fool

His Jekyll or his Hyde

Fly above the multitudes

Or just give them what they’re used to

He’s lit by candlelight

And his quill is filled with blood and spite

He’s my evil twin (x6)
