My Friend, Misery
Misery is my friend
The only one that
Always sticks around
If happiness ever finds me
I would start to cry
I'd let out shrieks
Like the Banshees
Trailing me
I need to feel pain
I know nothing else
Only way that I know
That I am still alive
Joy makes me feel numb
Serenity frightens me
Nightmares give me peace
Because at least I know
That they are real
They don't distort the truth
Let me breathe in my despair
I need to feel the melancholic breeze
On my tear soaked face
All I know is pain
All I know is misery
All I know is torment
Their absence means
My untimely demise
I love you, misery
Be with me always
