I'm My Own Enemy Lyrics

I built a house of cards with my own two hands,
Now I'm the wind that's blowing across the lands.
I have everything I ever wanted right in front of me,
So why am I still my own worst enemy?
Yeah, why am I my own worst enemy?

The roof is solid and the walls are strong,
A place where somebody like me could belong.
I fought the pavement and I paid the fee,
To carve out a life for my family.
The fire is burning and the table is set,
So why is my chest full of cold regret?
I wait for the ceiling to start to fall,
Waiting for the hammer to break the wall.

Nobody is coming to burn down the place.
I’m just terrified of a little bit of grace.

I built a house of cards with my own two hands,
Now I'm the wind that's blowing across the lands.
I have everything I ever wanted right in front of me,
So why am I still my own worst enemy?
Yeah, why am I my own worst enemy?

I look at the peace and I call it a lie,
Inventing a storm in an empty sky.
I push at the glass just to see if it breaks,
Keeping a tally of my old mistakes.
I hold on to anger that isn't even there,
Starting a fight with the quiet air.
They look at me gentle and tell me to rest,
While I sharpen the blade that I press to my chest.

Nobody is coming to burn down the place.
I’m just terrified of a little bit of grace.

I built a house of cards with my own two hands,
Now I'm the wind that's blowing across the lands.
I have everything I ever wanted right in front of me,
So why am I still my own worst enemy?
Yeah, why am I my own worst enemy?

I keep bracing for a heavy hit.
When nothing is wrong, I invent a bit.
I don't need a villain outside of the door,
When I'm the one waging the silent war.
Put down the match.
Let the house stand.
Take the blame off my own two hands.

I built a house of cards with my own two hands,
Now I'm the wind that's blowing across the lands.
I have everything I ever wanted right in front of me,
So why am I still my own worst enemy?
Yeah, why am I my own worst enemy?

Put down the match.
Let it stand.
It's just me.
My own enemy.
