The Enemy Lyrics

Held down, you've held me down too long.
Push me back on the ground, now it's my time to right your wrong.
Shut up, this is my turn now.
You're just the hypocrite that's always tried to put me down.

Take, take, take from me, that's all you ever do.
You've taken everything, now I'm taking part of you.
Run, run, run from me, it's too bad you can't see.
I've got you in my sights and I'm ready to unleash.

I'll take time to breathe.

Now, now that I see.
I've lost so many battles from wars that you waged on me,
But this is the moment, it's time you know it.
I'm gonna make you my enemy.

Laid out, placed right in front of you
But you're a parasite and I'm the host you latched on to.
The fire you set, left ashes surrounding.
The world that I knew, you left burning around me.

Wait, wait, wait you'll see, you've been so damn naive.
You think you run the show, but I have to disagree.
Break, break break you down. Go ahead take off your crown.
It's time to lose control, like a fucking animal.

Now, now that I see.
I've lost so many battles from wars that you waged on me,
But this is the moment, it's time you know it.
I'm gonna make you my enemy.

Listen your worthless, let me make this clear.
I'm done with betrayal, I'm done with the fear.
You had the cards, but now it's time to fold.
Now hear out these words, and do what you're told.
Do what you're told. Do what you're fucking told.

Now, now that I see.
I've lost so many battles from all that you did to me,
But this is the moment, it's time you know it.
I'm gonna make you my enemy.

Listen your worthless, let me make this clear.
I'm done with betrayal, I'm done with the fear.
You had the cards, but now it's time to fold.
Now hear out these words, and do what you're told.
Now, now that I see.
I've lost so many battles from wars that you waged on me,
But this is the moment, it's time you know it.
I'm gonna make you my enemy.
I'm gonna make you my enemy.

I Prevail—Brian Burkheiser [clean vocals], Eric Vanlerberghe [harsh vocals], Steve Menoian [guitar], and Lee Runestad [drums]—explore this phenomenon within the title of their full-length debut, Lifelines [Fearless Records].

I Prevail are no strangers to this experience. After the release of the quartet’s 2014 debut EP, Heart vs. Mind, nothing would ever be the same. The EP moved over 60,000 copies as the Detroit band toured with the likes of Hollywood Undead and Crown The Empire. Meanwhile, the group’s cover of Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” sold 300,000-plus singles, went Top 20 on Active Rock Radio, and generated over 22 million views on YouTube and 17 million-plus Spotify streams (consistently remaining in the Top 10 of the platform’s Viral Chart). The band would be nominated for “Breakthrough Band” at the 2016 Alternative Press Music Awards and garner features from Billboard, Detroit Free Press, AXS, Loudwire, and many more. Everything has aligned and set the stage perfectly their debut full-length, Lifelines.

In early 2016, the boys retreated to Wall of Sound Studios in the small and secluded town of Riley, Michigan to work with trusted producers B.J. Perry and John Pregler. With nearly two years on the road under their collective belt, the group had fully realized their style, merging entrancing hooks and a powerful and pummeling sonic backdrop. The first single “Scars” gallops from a propulsive riff into an unshakable refrain teetering between a hypnotic harmony and a hard-hitting groove. It’s immediately infectious. Elsewhere on the album “Stuck In Your Head” sees a magnetic vocal charge ahead in tandem with a bombastic drumbeat and hyper-charged guitars making the song live up to its name. Ultimately, Lifelines sees I Prevail take another big collective life step.
