Enemy

I wake up to the sound 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 Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be My enemy-y-y-y-y My enemy-y-y-y-y But I'm ready Your words up on the wall As you're prayin' for my fall And the laughter in the halls And the names that I've been called I've stacked 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 Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be My enemy-y-y-y-y My enemy-y-y-y-y 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 chained But keep on praying Goodbye Oh, the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be Oh, the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be My enemy Pray it away I swear I'll never be a saint, no way My enemy Pray it away I swear I'll never be a saint
