The Enemy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When you were young there's people talking You feel so lost in all the noise Try to find a voice fill the void You weren't like all the other girls and boys A little more troublesome, easily irritable Maybe permanently annoyed There's not much change from here to now But I don't think you thought you had the choice [Pre-Chorus] Where's your head at? What you feeling? Come on, baby, it's nearly the weekend Then we can drown out all your problems With the bottles and the pills Think the solutions at the bottom [Chorus] I know you're turning into who they want you to be You're over-tired, overworked, and under everything In a system that's been keeping you down beneath This city four walls, yeah that's the enemy [Verse 2] I think you're right I think the punchline is they never cared to ask about your better state of mind You said "I don't want to scare you But I'm scared myself, I don't wanna die." I said "I think you're gonna make it; Gonna come out fine on the other side" [Pre-Chorus] Where's your head at? What you feeling? Come on, baby, it's nearly the weekend And we can drown out all of the wrong ones Who underestimate the power of the people at the bottom [Chorus] I know you're turning into who they want you to be You're over-tired, overworked, and under everything In a system that's been keeping you down beneath This city four walls, yeah that's the enemy [Bridge] One foot out the door, at a time, one foot out the door One foot out the door, at a time, one foot out the door One foot out the door, at a time, one foot out the door One foot out the door, at a time, one foot [Chorus] I know you're turning into who they want you to be You're over-tired, overworked, and under everything In a system that's been keeping you down beneath This city four walls, yeah that's the enemy [Outro] I watched you break, I watched you burn out with insanity I watched you rise right in the face of your own disbelief You know I'm so proud of the person you turned out to be So even if I go, no, you'll never be the enemy (Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhhh, ohhhhhhh) No you'll never be the enemy
