Build a house to live in, To breathe in the air you need, Build a life to lead then, Ask yourself, what's it worth Before you die, Before you die, Build a love to sleep in, To fill the hole you're deep in, Let it grow baby grow till it's 20 feet tall, Watch it all fall down, all fall down, The clouds are following, The souls searching for the sun, They say we're the hopeless, But we are not the only ones, And I could sing until the rain, Comes and drowns the screaming out, The broken words the stapled mouth, Makes you wonder what it's all about, This is everything you've ever wanted, Is it not though? (I take it back I do, you would too, if you ever felt the way I do.) Ain't this everything you've ever dreamed for? Must be nice right? (I didn't think this through, neither did you, I can tell you feel the way I do.) Misery, Misery, I bet you never thought it'd be thought it'd be. happening to you and me you and me now you're thinking stupid me, stupid me Oh Oh Destroy the hand that feeds you, Reject the help you need, Pass the blade that reaps you, Just so you can tell yourself, That all I need is me, me, me, Hate the heart that loves you, Break the arms that throws themselves around you waist convince yourself that you're a waste of time and space and then you'll see, How free you'll be This is everything you've ever wanted Is it not though? (I take it back I do, you would too, if you ever felt the way I do.) Ain't this everything you've ever dreamed for? Must be nice right? (I didn't think this through, neither did you, I can tell you feel the way I do.) Misery Misery I bet you never thought it'd be thought it'd be happening to you and me you and me now you're thinking stupid me, stupid me Oh Oh You never let it go, Yeah, you never did.

Misery & Co.
Build a house to live in, To breathe in the air you need, Build a life to lead then, Ask yourself, what's it worth Before you die, Before you die, Build a love to sleep in, To fill the hole you're deep in, Let it grow baby grow till it's 20 feet tall, Watch it all fall down, all fall down, The clouds are following, The souls searching for the sun, They say we're the hopeless, But we are not the only ones, And I could sing until the rain, Comes and drowns the screaming out, The broken words the stapled mouth, Makes you wonder what it's all about, This is everything you've ever wanted, Is it not though? (I take it back I do, you would too, if you ever felt the way I do.) Ain't this everything you've ever dreamed for? Must be nice right?
