Always swinging at the one thing I can't see

Is this a ballad or a beast messing with me?

For every countermove concocted or conceived

It seems to know me so perfectly

Toxic tango of yin and yang between

Nitric acid, oxygen and kerosene

Effect and cause reaction sabotaging me

My perfect enemy

Always swinging at the one thing I can't see

Is this a ballad or a beast messing with me?

For every countermove concocted or conceived

It seems to know me so perfectly

Shadows slipping hidden crippling secrecy

Soul piercing truth here's to my hypocrisy

All this time I find I'm just fighting me

My perfect enemy

Always swinging at the one thing I can't see

Both a ballad and a beast messing with me

For every countermove concocted or conceived

It seems to know me so perfectly

(My perfect enemy)

Toxic tango of yin and yang between

Nitric acid, oxygen and kerosene

(My perfect enemy)

Maybe someday I'll embrace this twisted rivalry

My perfect enemy
