Lyrics

Misery

[Intro]

Fuck!

[Verse 1]

Misery fucking loves me

And I love her so

She is the cold embrace, no escape

When I'm left alone

Misery fucking loves me

And I love her too

She is the dying breath of nothing left

That I've become accustomed to

[Chorus]

There is nothing left for me

I wanna kill myself just for relief

Black cloud, death shroud

Weight of the world dragging me down

I have nothing to offer anyone

Hope for tthe hopeless coming undone

Misery is my only friend

She is a cold fucking snap

But she is not the end

[Verse 2]

Misery fucking loves me

But I love her more

She is the last light, the dark night

Noose 'round my neck, the hole in the floor

[Chorus]

There is nothing left for me

I wanna kill myself just for relief

Black cloud, death shroud

Weight of the world dragging me down

I have nothing to offer anyone

Hope for the hopeless coming undone

Misery is my only friend

She is a cold fucking snap

But she is not the end

[Bridge]

Misery!

[Breakdown]

Misery fucking loves us

And we love her too!

Misery fucking loves us

And we love her too!

Misery fucking loves us

And we love her too!

Misery fucking loves us

And we love her too!

[Outro]

*Squeals of a dying pig*
