Misery Lyrics by Carverton

Chasing Sounds

2019

[Intro]
I had to kill myself to make room for a better me
I tried to be myself, but I couldn't let go of my receipt
Well, maybe being happy ain't all it's cracked up to be
In a world that's full of left or right, I'm somewhere in between
Not black or white a darker shade of grey you've never seen
Can I have some goddamn misery?

[Verse 1]
Are you angry? Are you ready to hang me yet?
Are you gonna play me for a fool?
Paint me as a psycho tool that should stay locked in the shed?
Hey, movie star, have they ever seen your scars?
Was your little life in the limelight a little too bright?
Have you seen the darkness at all?

[Pre-Chorus]
We're all miserable, we feel invisible
We all wanna be, but we're never gonna be invincible

[Chorus]
I had to kill myself to make room for a better me
I️ tried to be myself, but I️ couldn’t let go of my receipt
Well, maybe being happy ain't all it's cracked up to be
Can I have some god damn misery?

[Verse 2]
I've got unfinished sins
So you can fill my grave back in
Life is gonna cut you down
Till you can't make a sound from being
Buried up to your chin
So take it in your stride
Don't be scared to live your life
'Cause if life's just a risk, then why not go all in?
Go on lift up that chin, put some salt in that grin

[Pre-Chorus]
We're all miserable, we feel invisible
We all wanna be, but we're never gonna be invincible

[Chorus]
I have to kill myself to make room for a better me
They'll tell you be yourself, then they hang on to your receipt
Well, maybe being yourself ain't all it's cracked up to be
Can I have some god damn misery?

[Bridge]
We're all miserable, we feel invisible
We all wanna be, but we're never gonna be invincible
But we'll stand through it all and we'll be difficult
You can call us what you want
But the world you'll never use is divisible
We're all miserable, we feel invisible
We all wanna be, but we're never gonna be invincible
But we'll stand through it all and we'll be difficult
You can call us what you want
But the world you'll never use is divisible

[Chorus]
I had to kill myself to make room for a better me
I had to kill myself to make room for a better me
I️ tried to be myself, but I️ couldn’t let go of my receipt
Well, maybe I'm not cut out for this fucked reality
Can I have some god damn misery?
Can I have some god damn misery?
Can I have some god damn misery?
