My Own Worst Enemy

My Own Worst Enemy

(Verse 1)
Flickers in the daylight, dodgin’ truth’s bright stare.
Bloodied by the fightin’,  scars everywhere.
They say I’m in denial, I lost my handsome smile,
This winding road has kept me lost for miles.

(Chorus)
I’m my own worst enemy, haven’t yet been set free.
I’m bound by these chains, through my own dumb decree.
I locked heart’s door, threw away the only key.
Just like a fool, I’m my own worst enemy.

(Verse 2)
The Judge of all has spoken, my pardon etched in stone,
Can’t receive His mercy, still lost and all alone.
A jury of none convicts me, chains forged in my mind’s cell,
I’m trapped in this prison, of my own consuming hell.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Layin’ down the gavel, let my verdict die,
Clearin’ out the ruins, I’ve been livin’ by.
With arms wide open, I’ll run into His grace,
And feel His love, in this broken space.

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Outro)
Soon I’ll be free….
And not my own worst enemy.
