[Verse 1]
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 is to the world that was smiling when I turned

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn, they hate us

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Your words up on the wall as you're prayin' for my fall
And the laughtеr in the halls and the names that I'vе been called
I stacked it in my mind, and I'm waitin' for the time
When I show you what it's like to be words spit in a mic

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn, they hate us

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
