[Verse]


  this is a pl

ace i know too

 well
           
     been down

 
 here a while,

 if you can't 

tell
           
     and i hav

   
e analyzed
             
And tried my b

            
est to justify
           
The sorrow i h

ave brought up

on myself

[Chorus]

       
Am i addicted 

to the misery
             
Is this how i'

              
ll always be?
              
Grinding the s

          
alt into every

 wound?
        
Am i in love w

ith all my ail

ments
             
Glutton for pu

          
nishment?
              
You can't trus

            
t me to be the

re for you

[Verse]


  i thought i 

had this
  
I thought i ha

d this all fig

ured out

  you'd think 

i'd learned fr

om all the shi

t
I fucking screamed about

  when there w

as sun
           
I couldn't see

 for the cloud

s
      
Still climbing

 the walls
              
Of this well j

              
ust to dive ba

   
ck down

        
Until i reache

d my rock bott

om

  down to the 

marrow
         
Bringing up th

e bad blood i'

d forgotten
            
  is it me tha

    
t's making me 

sick?
            
Been burning b

              
oth ends of th

  
e wick



[Chorus]

       
Am i addicted 

to the misery
             
Is this how i'

              
ll always be?
              
Grinding the s

          
alt into every

 wound?
        
Am i in love w

ith all my ail

ments

You can't trus

            
t me to be the

re for you

              
I've got this 


cold black
           
Silhouette han

ging like a ma

rionette
            
  casting a sh

         
adow, a shade 

over me
       
Just a sick, s

ad, sorry mess
             
Living like a 

          
masochist
              
Your worst imp

              
ressions were 


right about me

[Bridge]

  
       your wo

rst impression

s were right a

bout me
  
       your wo

rst impression

s were right
        
I could ask yo

u to stay, if 

you're feeling

 forgiving
        
I could live w

ith the guilt
       
If you call th

is living
        
I could try to

 memorize each

 grain of sand
      
As it slips th

rough my finge

rs
    
And falls from

 my hands
             
  it took me l

              
onger than i'd

 
 care to admit
            
  this life is

             
 only what i c


hoose to make 

of it
        
And the only t

hing standing
              
In-between hap

             
piness and mys

elf
Was this depression i held so close to my chest

[Chorus]

       
Am i addicted 

to the misery
             
Is this how i'

              
ll always be?
              
Grinding the s

[Interlude]

      

[Outro]

          
  wasting a wa

ning youth
            
  waiting for 

             
something to h

elp me pull th

rough
            
  i never saw 

        
the sun throug

h the clouds
            
  i lost faith

              
 when the skie

  
s were falling

 down
