Miss Misery

(John Clayton)

This song explores how we can fall prey to our emotions and circumstances and let them take over and even overwhelm us. The lyrics play on the saying "Misery Loves Company" and makes the statement that Misery attaches itself to someone because "It" hates being alone. An emotion has no life or energy until someone gives it power and we sometimes can lose ourselves without even realizing it.

There's a strange wind
Not a gentle breeze
Blowing cold and fast
Bringing in the grief
In the distance
I can see her eyes
Staring Blankly, I
Have no where to hide
So now she's coming on
No escaping, no release
I try to fight her
But she's got
A hold on me

(Chorus)
She's Miss Misery
She loves company
She's walking by my side
Yea, she's sleeping at my feet
I can't let her go
Seems like I'll never win
So I'll just let it go
I'll just let her in

I feel a gentle knock
On a door in my mind
It sounds lost and hollow
Like a temptress
Full of lies
So heaven help me please
In the loneliness 
Of the night
A little sweet resistance
A chance for respite
But here it comes again
The endless rushing tide
That fills up my mind

(Chorus Repeat)
