Familiar Enemy - Adestria

I used to think I was unique, that I would never be swayed

I was convinced that I could never be changed

I was naive, thinking I’d be any different than those

Those who I had no respect for

I refused to see, held on to my beliefs, that I was somehow better than them

I’m not better than them

And I can’t help but think that I’ve sacrificed the qualities

That keep me distinct from everyone else

Am I so arrogant that I

Believe I’m not another version of what I have come to despise?

Once my breath had left the mirror, I could see myself much clearer

I couldn’t hide from who I had become

Just as guilty as everyone

My reflection doesn’t look, doesn’t look the same

I’m staring at an unfamiliar face

And I can’t help but think that I’ve sacrificed the qualities

That keep me distinct from everyone else

Am I so arrogant that I

Believe I’m not another version of what I have come to despise?

The image I expected to see was no longer staring back at me

The image I expected to see was no longer staring back at me

Enemy, staring back at me

Enemy, staring back at me

And I can’t help but think, have I sacrificed everything?

And I can’t help but think that I’ve sacrificed the qualities

That keep me distinct from everyone else

Am I so arrogant that I

Believe I’m not another version of what I have come to despise?

I’m just another version of what I have come to despise

My reflection doesn’t look, doesn’t look the same
