Misery Is My Company

Misery is my company, she has always been my friend

Oh, it’s the sort of friendship that I fear will never end

Sometimes when I see her coming, I try to pretend

That she ain’t my most familiar feeling toward I tend

And when she reaches out to me, I can not help but go

Right to her side I'll sit and stare into the depths below

I try to walk away but she will not let me go

Misery is my company, how to leave her, I don't know

I keep on finding myself standing on this sharp, unsteady ground

Clinging to my misery, too afraid to look around

And once I follow her out to this dark and dreary land

Oh well I can't find my way back home, I tremble where I stand

Misery is my company, I’m so comfortable with her

And when I see her face I can feel finally understood

I try to stay away because I know she ain't no good

But into her sweet cold embrace, I’m always gently lured

I keep on finding myself standing on this sharp, unsteady ground

Clinging to my misery, too afraid to look around

And once I follow her out to this dark and dreary place

Well I can hardly breathe and tears are streaming down my face

Misery is my company, yes, I know her far too well

And even when I move around she finds me where I dwell

I tell her to go away, sometimes I even yell

But habits they die hard, we’re walking hand in hand to hell

I keep on finding myself standing on this sharp, unsteady ground

Clinging to my misery, too afraid to look around

And once I follow her out to this dark and dreary land

Well I can't find my way back home, I tremble where I stand
