[Verse 1: GRIP] I saw a stranger in the mirror He gave a cold-cold stare Who goes there? Who goes there? I feel we'd met before In a game of tug of war The victor, I'm not so sure I'm not so sure I don't know where l end And where he may begin So meet me in the middle My old friend And when it falls apart We'll always share the blame It's just you and I Going down in flames [Hook: GRIP] You'd set yourself on fire for a lonely view That's why the enemy is you You'd set yourself on fire for a lonely view That's why the enemy is you [Verse 2: Big Rube] The tracks in the the soil of life's path we walk are our own The consequences and rewards effects of a cause An obviously direct connection to whichever direction we decided on going There's always a choice, our thoughts are ours alone To express and no one else can truly speak with your voice Each compromise makes the next easier to repeat It seems small but one step must be taken for a million to be reached So gazing back upon the mental gallery of life's valleys and peeks We see ourselves when we started and often wonder Is the person we are now the one that we sought out to become If I was introduced to myself back then Would I qualify as someone I would ever call a friend Or has so much been lost of myself? Have I sabotaged myself at too great a cost to myself Feeling nothing but shame at the way I've played the game So fearful of being defeated whenever I could I cheated Now all I want is to know if what I suspect is true The identity of my enemy, the face in the mirror said it's you [Hook: GRIP] You'd set yourself on fire for a lonely view That's why the enemy is you You'd set yourself on fire for a lonely view That's why the enemy is you You'd set yourself on fire for a lonely view That's why the enemy is you You'd set yourself on fire for a lonely view That's why the enemy is you
