about

It’s one of those dreaded songs about writing songs. A lot of our songs have been about my struggles with mental health and bipolar disorder. My psyche being what it is, thoughts started spinning with the notion that anyone who listens to our songs might think they were some sort of schtick. I have a lot of great people and good things going on in my life, but any time I try to write something remotely positive, it feels incredibly laboured and forced. So, this song is about how the only thing I can write about is being miserable, because, no matter what I do, I am still miserable as fuck.

lyrics

I tried to write an optimistic song
But the words got twisted and it came out wrong
And all the hopeful words that I could have said
Got knotted by my hopeless tongue instead

How can there be so many good things?
How can none of these good things come to mind?
I’m trying hard to pull my heartstrings
But I’m tripping on the lines

I tried to write a love song
But my heart turned black and it came out wrong
Instead of all the ways that I care about you
I can only sing about the hell I put you through

Now it’s sounding like a gimmick
Now it’s starting to sound just like a fad
I wish I had some other lyric
But when you’ve never been happy then it’s all you have

Why must I be so miserable?
Why are misery and I inseparable?
I swear I want to write something
I swear I want to be someone better
But I get tangled with the letters
And I can never tie the words together
Misery
Misery

I tried to write a miserable song
But the chords hit a stroke and it came out wrong
Lock it up lock it up with a major key
So nobody can understand the misery

Why must I be so miserable?
Why are misery and I inseparable?
I swear I want to write something
I swear I want to be someone better
But I get tangled with the letters
And I can never tie the words together
Misery
Misery
