Misery - Framing Hanley

I’ve been sippin' rum like it’s H2O

Drownin' in spirits while livin' like a ghost

Searchin' for God at the bottom of bottles

And losin' myself in the process

I keep breakin' down like a beat-up truck

Sleepin' at the wheel with my eyes sewed shut

Wallow in pity, the city has plenty like me

How the hell did I wind up here?

Lyin' in a ditch

Talkin' to myself

Like I flipped a switch

Makin' me someone else

Eventually my tendencies

Might push you away

Please, please, stay

Take me for what I have to offer

I’m a broken mess

Can you stitch me up and mend me?

Can you make me whole again?

Sorry for the hell I drag you under

I did not intend

To become what I am, the shell of a man

Misery really does love company

I’ve been throwin' stones at the lookin' glass

Denyin' what I am, denyin' what I have, oh

That’s illusion I’m choosin', the truth is it chose me

Coursin' through my veins like acid in an IV

Stuck in cruise control, bracin' for the impact

Lyin' in a ditch

Lyin' to myself

And the worst part is

No one’s tried to help

My tendencies, they seem to be

Pushing you away

Please, please, stay

Take me for what I have to offer

I’m a broken mess

Can you stitch me up and mend me?

Can you make me whole again?

Sorry for the hell I drag you under

I did not intend

To become what I am, the shell of a man

Misery really does love company

You deserve the better man

The better man

Maybe I get caught up in the sound

Of you cryin' over me

A vicious cycle, we

Just keep spinnin' around and around

Take me for what I have to offer

I’m a broken mess

Can you stitch me up and mend me?

Can you make me whole again?

Sorry for the hell I drag you under

I did not intend

To become what I am, the shell of a man

Misery really does love company

You deserve much better
