[Lyric] My Friend of Misery (Kamasi Washington)

[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, 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 about thеse words you tell
My friend, bеfore your voice is gone
One man's fun is another's hell
Hese times were ment to try men's souls
But something's wrong with all you see
You, you'll take it on all 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 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
My friend of misery
Oh, you just...
You just stood there screaming
Oh, misery
You just stood there screaming
Oh, misery
Oh, my friend
Oh, my friend 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 of...
My friend of...
My friend of misery
