Lyrics

Fell into a hole, my ears were ringing
Followed every rule and kept repeating
Could I be a fool?
In the silence, you're the first one that I turn to
You're the first voice that I turn to
In the absence of my own
There's an enemy among us
There's an enemy among us
He stole as best he could
He stole as best he could
There's an enemy among us
There's an enemy among us
He stole as best he could
Our hearts like an enemy should
And when I awoke, my friends were sleeping
I put on my coat to keep from freezing
Something isn't right
In the silence, you're the first one that I turn to
You're the first voice that I turn to
In the absence of my own
There's an enemy among us
There's an enemy among us
He stole as best he could
He stole as best he could
There's an enemy among us
There's an enemy among us
He stole as best he could
Our hearts like an enemy should
