My Friend of Misery






You just stood there screaming 

fearing no one was listening to you 

they say the empty can rattles the most 

the sound of your voice must soothe you 

hearing only what you want to hear 

and knowing only what you've heard 

you you're smothered in tragedy 

you're out to save the world 



misery 

you insist that the weight of the world 

should be on your shoulders 

misery 

there's much more to life than what you see 

my friend of misery 



you still stood there screaming 

no one caring about these words you tell 

my friend before your voice is gone 

one man's fun is another's hell 

these times are sent to try men's souls 

but something's wrong with all you see 

you you'll take it on all yourself 

remember, misery loves company 



misery 

you insist that the weight of the world 

should be on your shoulders 

misery 

there's much more to life than what you see 

my friend of misery 



you just stood there screaming 

my friend of misery
