Enemy Mine

 
the enemy never dies    
it only transforms  
feeding this vice...exploiting that fear    
the enemy has become mobile    
in a global society    
you can create your very own    
stay at home hell    
or carry around a customized pocket sized    
brimstone bible    
to keep you safe from reality    
   
...    
   
the enemy knows    
you're at odds with your digitized god    
you wanna have faith in an    
'eat the meat and spit out the bones'    
disposition    
until you see yourself    
coughing up    
fragments of your own skeleton    
   
....    
   
the enemy likes it    
when you masturbate the same 'ol ideas    
of 'what once was'    
hoping for the same outcome  
in a new era    
but the only thing you succeeded in seeding    
was a retroactive future    
   
....
