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 was 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 (Look out for yourself) My enemy (Look out for yourself) 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 Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be my enemy Look out for yourself My enemy (Look out for yourself) They say, "Pray it away" But I swear, I'll never be a saint, no way A chair in the corner is a place I'll stay I shake, and I think about the powers at play The powers at play (impossible to wake up) Kid in the dark that was doomed from the start And 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 Keep on praying Goodbye Oh, the 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) They say, "Pray it away" But I swear I'll never be a saint, no way (My enemy) they say, "Pray it away" But I swear I'll never be a saint, no They say, "Pray it away" But I swear I'll never be a saint, no way (My enemy) they say, "Pray it away" But I swear I'll never be a saint Look out for yourself
