MISERY


The constant repetition
Same old problems to deal with
You'd think after all this practice
I'd be able to handle them all

I'm counting grains of sand
I'm climbing buildings with no top
And when I find the right path
It takes me round 360 degrees
And I have to start again

I'm waiting for the scales to tip my way
I need a change of luck
Will I ever get anything right
Or am I in the dark tonight

Every little thing I do
Every time I try to try
I make things worse
I still break what's been broken
A long time before

I don't need attention
I need you all to look the other way
While I change my mask or take it off
Who can I hurt today?

Stem without the ground
Fish without the sea
I'm drowning in my own ocean
Of private misery

Thinking everything's not going to be all right
I'm a pessimist with nothing going wrong
I'm a cynic and I just don't like it
But I have my misery
To keep me forever company
