The Enemy

When you were young there's people talking

You feel so lost in all the noise

Try to find a voice fill the void

You weren't like all the other girls and boys

A little more troublesome, easily irritable

Maybe permanently annoyed

There's not much change from here to now

But I don't think you thought you had the choice

Where's your head at?

What you feeling?

Come on, baby, it's nearly the weekend

Then we can drown out all your problems

With the bottles and the pills

Think the solutions at the bottom

I know you're turning into who they want you to be

You're over-tired, overworked, and under everything

In a system that's been keeping you down beneath

This city four walls, yeah that's the enemy

I think you're right

I think the punchline is they never cared to ask about your better state of mind

You said "I don't want to scare you

But I'm scared myself, I don't wanna die."

I said "I think you're gonna make it;

Gonna come out fine on the other side"

Where's your head at?

What you feeling?

Come on, baby, it's nearly the weekend

And we can drown out all of the wrong ones

Who underestimate the power of the people at the bottom

I know you're turning into who they want you to be

You're over-tired, overworked, and under everything

In a system that's been keeping you down beneath

This city four walls, yeah that's the enemy

One foot out the door, at a time, one foot out the door

One foot out the door, at a time, one foot out the door

One foot out the door, at a time, one foot out the door

One foot out the door, at a time, one foot

I know you're turning into who they want you to be

You're over-tired, overworked, and under everything

In a system that's been keeping you down beneath

This city four walls, yeah that's the enemy

I watched you break, I watched you burn out with insanity

I watched you rise right in the face of your own disbelief

You know I'm so proud of the person you turned out to be

So even if I go, no, you'll never be the enemy

(Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhhh, ohhhhhhh)

No you'll never be the enemy
