You just stood there screaming Fearing no one was listening to you They say the empty can rattles the most The sound of your own voice must soothe you Hearing only what you want to hear And knowing only what you've heard You, you're smothered in tragedy And 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
