Misery

from Chasing Sounds by Carverton

lyrics

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?

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 for you to see (recognize) who you are
Have you seen the darkness at all?

We're all miserable
We feel invisible
We all wanna be, but we're never gonna be invincible

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?


I've got unfinished sins
So you can fill my grave back in
Life is gonna cut you down
Til 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
Cuz if life's just a risk
Then why not go all in
Go on lift up that chin
Put some salt in that grin

We're all miserable
We feel invisible
We all wanna be, but we're never gonna be invincible

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

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 (x2)

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? (x3)
