No Exit
Misery Loves Co Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

White walls, a room that's much to small,
I can't move
How did I get here, who's to blame,
Every fuckin'one
Burnmarks on the floor, we've waited too long,
Can you see me?
Is this a place where we begin? Maybe this is
Where it all ends:

Dive! So follow me down, it's so much scarier
Crawl! Don't turn around cause I will follow you to
Follow me down, no easy way out
Don't turn around, there's no exit this time

The broken glass explains it all,
I want out
I've been here once before,
Seeing what it did to you
So many reasons to escape,
Am I someone?
What you accomplished I despise,
I can never go back there again

I can't move:
How did I get here, who's to blame?
Every fuckin'one!

Burnmarks on the floor we've waited to long,
Can you...
