Misery
Human Hell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pull me close just enough to breathe you in
Enough to suffocate me
Then maybe you'd be happy
Hold me at arms length
Pull me close just enough to breathe you in
Enough to suffocate me
Then maybe you'd be happy
Two faces there but I see three
Which one of you is really talking to me
But now I'm cold
Like the shoulder you'll see
You are misery
Ugh
Misery loves me
Pathetic
You just don't get it
Make me a victim
If i refuse to admit it
Hypocrite
You're a two bit counterfeit
Hold me at arms length
Pull me close enough to breathe you in
Sever the sinew binding us
You worked tooth and
Nail to sink your
Jaws right back through
The hide of my insight
But you're all bark no bite
You're all bark no bite
I won't turn the other cheek
But forgiveness made me weak
Two faces there but I see three
Which one of you is really talking to me
But now I'm cold
Like the shoulder you'll see
You are misery
Misery is the death of me
Your heart will know what it's like to bleed
Demarcate the end in blood
