Nemesis
© 2016 Jenna Laurise Ehrle (BMI), Connor Ehrle (BMI), and Vince Constantino (ASCAP)
Verse 1:
When you scoff, they look away
When you push, they rise again
How far will it have to go
'Til you start looking for revenge?
Beaten down, but not suppressed
Resistance can seem in vain
Hoping we can get along
If not, what will we gain?
Chorus:
Who is the enemy?
Is it you or is it me?
Fighting ever more
What is this battle for?
The farther we push, the further we fall
We push 'til there is nothing left at all
Who is the nemesis?
The nemesis
Verse 2:
When you argue, or start a fight
By lashing out, you've made a move
There may be no right or wrong
But there's something left to prove
Why make a riot over this?
Why start a revolution?
We could launch a war or
We could look for a solution
Chorus
Bridge:
I've never walked in your shoes and you never walked in mine
But are we so much different or are we of the same kind?
Chorus
