Sweet Misery

You can see the ring of darkness coverin' up the light

But to see it is to admit that it's just passin' by

My friend in New York City, she calls me time to time

And I tell her made up stories, but never tell her lies

And the weight of my heart, it swings me left to right

Like a wreckin' ball on a six-foot chain

Forever, all my life

It only goes to show, sweet misery

You can follow me down to the end of my path

But you still gotta get through me

I believe, if for the moment, in Heaven I reside

It might as well be anywhere, so why not in my mind?

Oh, you, yeah, you, who else am I talking to?

Go sit down by your lonesome and entertain the fool

I was late to the party, and I'm eatin' someone's food

But I've never been so hungry to be without a clue

It only goes to show, sweet misery

You can follow me down to the end of my path

But you still gotta get through me

Yeah, you can follow me down to the end of my path

But you still gotta get through me
