Enemy

I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows

For my mind to run around with my ear up to the ground

I'm searching to behold the stories that are told

When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned

Tell you you're the greatest

But once you turn, they hate us

Oh, the misery

Everybody wants to be my enemy

Oh, the misery

Everybody wants to be my enemy

Spare the sympathy

Everybody wants to be my enemy

Look out for yourself!

My enemy

But I'm ready

Your words up on the wall as you're praying for my fall

And the laughter in the halls, and the names that I've been called

I stack it in my mind, and I'm waiting for the time

When I show you what it's like to be words spit in a mic

Tell you you're the greatest

But once you turn, they hate us

Oh, the misery (misery)

Everybody wants to be my enemy (enemy)

Spare the sympathy

Everybody wants to be my enemy

Look out for yourself!

My enemy

They say, "Pray it away"

I swear that I'll never be a saint, no way

A chair in the corner is my place, I stay

I shake, and I think about the powers at play, the powers at play

And the kids in the dark that were doomed from the start

The child in the basement, face to the pavement

Oh, what a statement, love is embracement

Love is a constant, love is a basis

He cannot be, she cannot be, they cannot be changed

But keep on praying

Goodbye

They say, "Pray it away"

I swear that I'll never be a saint, no way

A chair in the corner is my place, I stay

I shake, and I think about the powers at play, the powers at play

Oh, the misery (misery)

Everybody wants to be my enemy

Spare the sympathy

Everybody wants to be my enemy

Oh, the misery

Everybody wants to be my enemy

Spare the sympathy

Everybody wants to be my enemy

Yeah!

My enemy

Yeah!
