Enmity (M. Wiley)
it’s true love
i’m feeling enmity
bitter and broken down
take a look at myself for now
slowly walking through my house
staring out at my yard
no one can tell me how to be
shut it out
shuttered and dazed
and the mind swims
in this broken down home
shut the lights out
grown over like weeds
like a bed of tears
in this broken down home
surrounded yet every day you wake
alone
I feel most comfortable
driving in my car
without all the noise
to beat the long road down
to feel an endless regret
like daggers over your skin
to lose the last of yourself
not knowing where to begin
uncovered yet every day you wake
alone
gotta get out of here
on my own
gotta get out of here
own my own
forced to find a light in here
or lie in the road
she’ll be right on time
gotta get out of here
on my own
