Rush - The Enemy Within

Album:

Things crawl in the darkness
That imagination spins
Needles at your nerve ends
Crawl like spiders on your skin.

Pou, Pou, Pou
Pounding in your temples
And a surge of adrenalin
Every muscle tense to fence
The enemy within.

I'm not giving in
To security under pressure
I'm not missing out
On the promise of adventure
I'm not giving up
On implausible dreams
Experience to extremes
Experience to extremes.

A suspicious looking stranger
Flashes you a dangerous grin
Shadows across your window
Was it only trees in the wind?

Every breath a static charge
A tongue that tastes like tin
Steely-eyed outside
To hide
The enemy within.

I'm not giving in
To security under pressure
I'm not missing out
On the promise of adventure
I'm not giving up
On implausible dreams
Experience to extremes
Experience to extremes.

To you is it movement or is it action
Is it contact or just reaction
And you revolution or just resistance
Is it living or just existence?
Yeah you it takes a little more persistence
To get up and go the distance.

I'm not giving in
I'm not missing out
I'm not giving up
On implausible dreams
Experience to extremes.

I'm not giving in
To security under pressure
I'm not missing out
On the promise of adventure
I'm not giving up
On implausible dreams
Experience to extremes
Experience to extremes
Hey, hey, hey yeah.
