Hello Misery, I'm home

Misery is my name and
I feel every piece of your pain
I live to follow you, torture you
Until the day you die
I've chosen you, my sweet child
You're mine until your last ever breathless sigh

When you weep at night, longing for the end
When things go wrong at every turn, it should be me that you blame
I'm the shadow after dark, the real thing you should fear
The bad luck you experience, the tainted life you are forced to lead
It's me, filling your eyes with those endless hot tears

You think something is wrong with you
You sad little fool
Pathetically embracing your hopes and dreams
Not realising I'm the cause of all that is wrong with you

I laugh as you cry
I find joy in your demise
In every life there is one of me
One that takes you further from your humanity
I am the one they call misery
And I just love your company
