SKID ROW LYRICS
"My Enemy" (1995 Single)
1. My Enemy
2. Ironwill
3. Frozen (Demo)
1. My Enemy
Play the fence, one way you're gonna fall
Sometimes I don't know who you are at all
Your opinion is something that you've got inside
But I see the loyalty has up and died
Your skeletons
My skeletons
Life is only getting shorter
You can be my enemy and I don't care
Keep throwin' stones at yourself
Stories run in circles that have no end
I hit on luck, then you bum me out again
There's a way that you keep the truth in check
Scratch the surface and treat it like a broken neck
Keep the peace when face to face with the scene
Got a hunch that ain't what you really mean
Weather's fair, does that change where you stand?
My back is turned and the knife is in your hand
Your genocide
My genocide
Life is only getting shorter
You can be my enemy and I don't care
Keep throwin' stones at yourself
You can be my enemy and I don't care
You try too hard and I can tell
2. Ironwill
Life comes and goes, quick as does the day
Greed, for those who know is just a step away
Time's a breathing bomb, going with the flow
Stand atop it all outside the status qou
No see, no speak then know where you're goin'
Drag your feet then nothing you're showin'
Take your face and stand where you're dying
(chorus)
Living in a hole is taking its toll
My iron will's in position
Seize you are not owed, stand or fall
And refuse to be denied
Pride is all in vain without the blood of need
Bones can break in shame from taking charity
Hide from all the hell and wash up with the tide
Wait and you commit psychological suicide
Break the molds of beg and submission
Wake the dead or no one will listen
Holding ground is just the beginning
It's uphill bound and in for the killing
(repeat chorus)
3. Frozen (Demo)
As a stare into the fire
All my thoughts go up in flames
Here I stare into the fire
I'll be waiting on the rain
The box I keep myself in, closes out my air
So I build a fire, so I can sit and stare
(chorus)
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
As I stare into the weather
My eyes drying from the cold
As I stare into the weather
I sense my thoughts growing old
(repeat chorus)
I listen to the prophets predict the stem of tides
I stare into the weather that's keeping me inside
(repeat chorus)
As I stare into the fire
Will the prophets change my mind
While I stare into the fire
All the colors treat me kind
I'll dust away the fallings the winter leaves for me
I'll stare into the fire and set tomorrow free
(repeat chorus)
