The Enemy - Andrew Belle

The Enemy by Andrew Belle, from Black Bear

My heart gets lost like a message 
My head is on the clouds 
And I don’t get it 
And so I’m fashionably numb 
Sometimes it helps to forget 
Where we come from 

Out of the mire we were torn from 
Remember 
Out of the fire again 
But I’m an ember 
I hold a banner for you 
But it’s upside down 
You got a question or two 
But I’m tongue tied now 

Don’t try to follow me 
I would 
Hold you down if I could 
Make you the enemy 
I would 
Let you down 

I took a ride on the champagne 
You took a flight over San Fran Bay 
We washed misunderstood 
Your heart was warm like a brother’s should 
But then the gallow gave way 
Sometimes they call after you 
But you say 

Don’t try to follow me 
I would 
Hold you down if I could 
Make you the enemy 
I would 
Let you down 

I hold you down 
I hold you down 
I hold you
