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
