Imaginary Enemy Lyrics

Posted by Circa WebCrew

March 30, 2010

You're so careless, careless
How did you get so ungrateful?
You treat me like I'm a disease and it's been killing me
Chances are, you never even cared at all
I'm sure you had your reasons but I'll never get to hear

The truth disguised in all your alibis
It's a tradition practiced
Every time you say goodbye

I've tried so hard
to be what you needed
your imaginary enemy
I've tried for so long
to make you believe it
that I am not the enemy

Slipshod cavalier
I can't stand to see those things that
you have taken for granted
thrown away everything you've been handed
Too much all at once that's how you got so ungrateful
All you saw was the burden
standing beside all your blessed truths
disguised in all you alibis
It's a tradition practiced
every time you say goodbye

I've tried so hard
to be what you needed
your imaginary enemy
I've tried for so long
to make you believe it
that I am not the enemy
imaginary enemy

I love the outros in all of these songs and how they blend into the next one, woaahcool.

WHOA! That second verse makes me want to grab my feet through my throat and turn myself inside out from sheer awesomeness. Man, this would definitely make a good opener for an album I'm deliriously waiting for. I saw you guys when you toured with Dredg, playing on the bar stage at The Rave in Milwaukee and I was astounded with this band I hadn't heard of before. I can hear how you guys have progressed, and now you've been honed to aural lethality. Thanks..just thanks.

I love this song. I remember Anthony working on the vocals during one of the sequence videos, and wanting to hear the song so badly. I really want the vinyl, but I highly doubt I'll have the money before they're all gone.

Absolutely incredible.
These words burn right through me.
This album is going to change everything.
I started a fund to purchase this album/tickets for the Chicago show in May, right after my birthday.
Sadly, I'm poor, and I have bills to pay.
But I swear to someone's God I'll have this album on 4.20.

i'm tripping really hard on acid listening to this song. and yes... i know you don't think it's possible. but this song is way more awesome on acid. i'm pretty sure i'm the first person who can say that. so i'm honored! XD

Circa survive is the one band that has a song for each of my moods. This music has seen me through tough times, thank you.

Amazing!
on a side not: BROKENHOPE0, I will pay for you deluxe if you give me your address... promise... You can think this is a gimmick or something like that but from one circa survive fan to another, I don't think money should play a factor in this... Honestly if I could burn all the money of the world I would. I think money just poisons the mind. My personal email is xmcconnahax@gamil.com, let me know if you want this, and don't think of it as a favor, just think of it as one brother saying hi, welcome to the revolution of people.
