[Intro]

   


[Verse 1]

   
I wake up to t

he sounds of t

he silence tha

t allows
       
For my mind to

 run around, w

ith my ear up 

to the ground
      
I'm searching 

to behold the 

stories that a

re told
        
When my back i

s to the world

 that was smil

ing when I tur

ned


[Pre-Chorus]

             
Tell you you'r

       
e the greatest
             
But once you t

          
urn, they hate

 us


[Chorus]


  Oh, the mise

ry

Everybody want

s to be my ene

my

  Spare the sy

mpathy
            
Everybody want

              
s to be my ene

       
my-my-my-my-y
         
My enemy-my-my

    
-my-y
N.C.
But I'm ready


[Verse 2]

       
Your words up 

on the wall as

 you're prayin

' for my fall
         
And the laught

er in the hall

s and the name

s that I've be

en called
    
I stack it in 

my mind, and I

'm waiting for

 the time
        
When I show yo

u what it's li

ke to be words

 spit in a mic


[Pre-Chorus]

             
Tell you you'r

[Bridge]

         
They say pray 

it away
              
I swear, that 

              
I'll never be 

  
a saint, no wa

y
              
A chair in the

              
 corner is my 


place I stay
              
I shake and I 

              
think about th

  
e powers at pl

ay, the powers

 at play
             
And the kids i

  
n the dark tha

t were doomed 

from the start

The child in the basement, face to the pavement

Oh, what a sta

tement, love i

s embracement

Love is a constant, love is a basis

He cannot be, 

she cannot be,

 they cannot b

e changed
    
But keep on pr

aying
N.C.
Goodbye


[Chorus]

N.C.
  Oh, the misery

   Everybody w

ants to be my 

enemy

  Spare the sy

mpathy

Everybody want

s to be my ene

my

  Oh, the mise

ry

Everybody want

s to be my ene

my

  Spare the sy

mpathy

Everybody want

s to be my ene

my


[Outro]

         
Pray it away, 

              
I swear I'll n

          
ever be a sain

t, no way

My enemy
         
Pray it away, 

              
I swear I'll n

          
ever be a sain

t

(Look out for yourself)
