Lizzie Esau - The Enemy
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

Got out of bed in the same way I always do Another day in a box that was made by you I’m not a leaver But your a hell of a leacher In my mind while you’re quiet on a rainy day Just

All you pretty women Stand in line I can make love to you baby In an hour's time I'm a man Spelled M-A-N Man The line I shoot Will never
