Kamasi Washington
My Friend of Misery
[Verse 1]
You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear
And knowing only what you've heard
You're smothered in tragedy
And you're out to save the world

[Chorus]
Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery

[Verse 2]
You still stood there screaming
No one caring 'bout thosе words you tell
My friend, beforе your voice is gone
One man's fun is another's hell
These times were meant to try men's souls
But something's wrong with all you see
You, you take it all on yourself
Remember, misery loves company
[Chorus]
Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend, my friend of misery

[Chorus]
You insist that the weight of the world
Be on your shoulders
Oh, my friend of misery
There's so much more to life than what you see
My friend, my friend of misery

[Outro]
My friend, my friend
My friend, my friend
My friend, my friend
My friend, my friend
My friend, my friend
My friend, my friend of misery

Oh, you just stood there
You just stood there screaming
Oh, misery
You just stood there screaming
Oh, misery
Oh, my friend
Oh, my friend, oh, of misery
My friend of misery
You just stood there screaming, screaming
My friend of misery
You just stood there screaming
My friend of misery
You just stood there screaming, screaming
My friend, my friend of misery
Misery
My friend, my friend, my friend
My friend of
My friend of misery
