Lyrics

You think you can hurt me?
Think your words even matter?
You don’t even rank, boy!
Lowest rung on the ladder!
There’s nothing you can say
That I don’t think of myself
Cuz I’m my own worst enemy
So ya better get over yourself
I’m my own worst enemy
There’s a darkness inside
If it escapes its cage
You better run and hide
I’m my own worst enemy
Oh, I’ll never be free
No matter where I go
I will always be me.
I am my own worst
Yes, my own worst
The very worst enemy!
The enemy within…
I’ve been through the fire
I have come thru the flame
But deep inside of me
Resides my greatest shame
It’s the demons that call
They claw at my soul
And if you unleash them
They will swallow you whole
I’m my own worst enemy
There’s a darkness inside
If it escapes its cage
You better run and hide
I’m my own worst enemy
Oh, I’ll never be free
No matter where I go
I will always be me.
I am my own worst
Yes, my own worst
The very worst enemy!
The enemy within…
So remember my warning
Every word I said’s true
If you wake up the beast
It might devour you too!
I’m my own worst enemy
There’s a darkness inside
If it escapes its cage
You better run and hide
I’m my own worst enemy
Oh, I’ll never be free
No matter where I go
I will always be me.
I am my own worst
Yes, my own worst
The very worst… enemy!
The enemy within…
So don’t make things worse
Don’t you dare poke the bear
You’ve been warned now
So you better beware!
I am my own worst
Yes, my own worst
The very worst enemy!
The enemy within…
The enemy within…
Don’t let it out
My enemy
Within!

Behind the Music

Composer’s Thoughts

I originally wrote this for either James or Troy. I couldn’t decide who when Anastasia shocked me. She asked if she could try. So with very little reworking, I did just that. It was even better than I thought. She really knocked this one out of the park.

Anastasia’s Thoughts

I think this was an important message. We all have our inner demons and mental health issues we face. This one especially is something I don’t often show to the world, but it very relevant to me. I am my own worst enemy and it is something I struggle with daily.
