My Own Worst Enemy
Lyrics by Jakki Jelene

I know that I shouldn't feel this way
It's everything I shouldn't be
It's everything I know that is wrong in the world
But I can't seem to set myself free

This broken shell that I call my home
Robs me of my sanity
I've come to resent my own reflection
Can't face my humanity

And the flames swallow me whole
I'm longing to feed my hungry soul
I'm lost in the cold
And before I grow old
Save me from me
I'm my own worst enemy

My eyes are wide, never satisfied
I desire the things that I see
And somehow I just can't get enough
I reach out when I should turn and flee

I'm victim to the urge of my flesh
To do what I know shouldn't be done
And still I say yes when I should say no
Being bad can be so much fun

And the flames swallow me whole
I'm longing to feed my hungry soul
I'm lost in the cold
And before I grow old
Save me from me
I'm my own worst enemy

And the flames swallow me whole
I'm longing to feed my hungry soul
I'm lost in the cold
And before I grow old
Save me from me
I'm my own worst enemy

I'm my own worst enemy (save me from me)
I'm my own worst enemy (save me from me)
I'm my own worst enemy (save me from me)
