MY NAME IS MISERY
Hello
Please allow me
to introduce myself.
My name is Misery.
I can dress any situation up
and make it look pretty.
But I can’t tell you
what normal looks like.
I can show you hopelessness,
give you a portrait of emptiness.
I can’t tell you what love feels like
even if I felt it
I wouldn’t know it
But ask me about being alone.
Ask me about being
too far from home
Hopeless and screaming,
begging for something
anything

TO SAVE ME.
From a hell
where I was abandoned
left to die alone
A broken soul
bleeding and pleading
for one shred of humanity
Reaching out to you in vain,
not trying to shift the blame
I know what I did.
I know what I became
Cause and effect
you made that clear.
But what you did to me
was never fucking fair.

MY NAME IS MISERY!
I KNOW WHAT EMPTY MEANS
I KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE
TO BE BEGGING ON MY KNEES

MY NAME IS MISERY
I KNOW WHAT LOVE CAN DO
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING I HAD
AND IT STILL WASN’T ENOUGH FOR YOU

We both agreed
my cause to your effect
was nothing more
than some trivial annoyance
from a broken mind

But you acted methodically
You chose your time.
You chose to break
an already broken mind
And I’ll own my responsibility
for every piece of the insanity
I’ll carry what is mine
I always have
But the punishment
did not fit the crime

My love was unconditional.
Pure
And maybe that was
the stupidest thing
I ever gave away.
I needed your love
I needed understanding
Instead, you watched me drown
and called it consequence

MY NAME IS MISERY!
I KNOW WHAT EMPTY MEANS
I KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE
TO BE BEGGING ON MY KNEES

MY NAME IS MISERY
I KNOW WHAT LOVE CAN DO
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING I HAD
AND IT STILL WASN’T ENOUGH FOR YOU

I guess in the end
you meant more to me
than I ever meant to you

I get it
Cause
and effect

Cause
and effect
My biggest crime
was having a broken mind
My biggest crime
was needing you
at the wrong fucking time

AND EVERYONE
YOU’VE FUCKED
SINCE ME
IS JUST ANOTHER
FUCKING
CARBON COPY
OF
ME

So tell me
WHAT THE FUCK
WAS SO WRONG WITH ME
WHAT THE FUCK
DID YOU NEED ME TO BE

YOU THREW ME AWAY
THEN WENT LOOKING FOR MY FACE
IN EVERY OTHER BODY
THAT TOOK MY PLACE

MY NAME IS MISERY
NOW DO YOU RECOGNIZE ME
I’M THE THING YOU LEFT FOR DEAD
STILL SCREAMING underneath

MY NAME IS MISERY!
AND I’M SO FUCKING TIRED
OF TAKING ALL THE BLAME
FOR EVERY MATCH YOU EVER FIRED
I KNOW I WASN’T PERFECT
I KNOW I LOST MY MIND
BUT I NEEDED LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING
NOT TO BE LEFT BEHIND

I try

I really fucking try
not to feel this way

I try to tell myself
that life isn’t fair.
That people leave
That love dies
That sometimes
there is no answer

But fuck...
Fuck my goddamned life
It’s not fucking fair
It’s not
fucking
fair

My name is Misery
