Misery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And nothing is funnier than nothing yeah
And misery is hungry
The souls are what it eats
It devours all your insides and leaves you
Lighter than the breeze
But there's nowhere I'd rather be
When it starts to smack me around
‘Cause I like it i like it
Stop what you’re doin’ to me i like it
And misery loves company and I love misery
We’ll take out a second mortgage
We’ll start a little family
And everyone will be miserable
And everyone will sing together
I know there's something wrong with me
But I hope I never get better
‘Cause I like it i like it
Stop what you’re doin’ to me i like it
I like it

Look out for yourself
I wake up to the sounds of silence that allows
For my mind to run around with my ear up to the ground
Im searching to behold the stories that i told
When my back is to the world that was smiling when i turned
Tell me your the greatest but once you turn. THEY HATE US
OH. The misery everybody wants to be my enemy spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy-y-y-y-y(Look out for yourself)
My enemy (look. look. Look. Look) (look out for yourself) But im ready
Your words up on the walls as you prayin for my falls
And the laughter in the halls

I'm searching to behold the stories that are told
When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned
Tell you, you're the greatest
But once you turn, they hate us
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy
(Look out for yourself)
But I'm ready
Your words up on the wall as you're praying for my fall
And the laughter in the halls
And the names that I've been called
I stack it in my mind and I'm waiting for the time
When I show you what it's like to be words spit in a mic
Tell you, you're the greatest
But once you turn, they hate us (ha)
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy (yeah)
(Look out for yourself)
Uh, look, okay
I'm hoping that somebody pray for me
I'm praying that somebody hope for me
I'm staying where nobody 'posed to be
P-posted, being a wreck of emotions
Ready to go whenever, just let me know
The road is long, so put the pedal into the floor
The enemy on my trail, my energy unavailable
I'ma tell 'em, "Hasta luego"
They wanna plot on my trot to the top
I've been outta shape, thinkin' out the box
I'm an astronaut, I blasted off the planet rock
To cause catastrophe and it matters more because I had it
And I had a thought about wreaking havoc on an opposition, kinda shockin'
They want a static with precision, I'm automatic quarterback
I ain't talking sacking pack it, pack it up, I don't panic, batter-batter up
Who the baddest? It don't matter 'cause we at ya throat
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy (I swear)
Pray it away, I swear, I'll never be a saint, no way
My enemy
Pray it away, I swear, I'll never be a saint

I wake up to the sounds, of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around, with my ear up to the ground
I’m searching to behold, the stories that are told
While my back is to the world, that was smiling when I turned
Tell you you’re the greatest…
But once you turn they hate us…
Oh the misery, everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy, everybody wants to be, my enemy

And the laughter in the halls, and the names that I’ve been called
I stack it in my mind, as I’m waiting for the time
To show you what it’s like, to be word-spitting a mic
Tell you you’re the greatest…
But once you turn they hate us… (huh)
