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

My back is to the world that was smiling when I turn

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

Your words up on the wall

As you're praying for my fall

And the laughter in halls

And the names that I've been called

I stack 'em in my mind as 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

Everybody wants to be my enemy

My enemy-y-y-y-y

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
