lyrics

Miss Miserable

You are so damned miserable it’s rolling off your skin
Cauterize them bloody eyes and sew up your eyelids
Lines of red they frame your face, you’re sharpening the void
You’ve one more chance to make amends your life’s a broken…
Your life’s a broken toy
Miss Miserable

It’s hard to make your day come true when darkness swallows you
Don’t tear apart what you start you’ll rip yourself in two
We’re out to get a piece of you, that world you know will fall
Happiness is just a lie to crush the weak and small
Oh, Miss Miserable

Voices calling, shadows trace the winds
Nighttimes enlighten, lose yourself again
Oh, Miss Miserable, won’t you climb out of your hole
Oh, Miss Miserable, won’t you bury your dead soul

You are so damned miserable it’s rolling off your skin
Cauterize them bloody eyes and sew up your eyelids
Miss Miserable
