"My Friend of Misery"

You just stood there screamin'

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 screamin'

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

My friend of misery

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 screamin', oh

My friend of misery

Yeah, yeah, yo
