Mt. Misery Songtext
von My Fictions

I left after noon.
I couldn′t stand to be in this room with all my stagnant dreams and my constant decay.
I felt out of place and burdened with thoughts of escape: do you know the weight of collapsing into yourself?
I found somewhere to run off – Route 2, down a bit by the railroad.
I walked for hours, kept the trail.
You took my whole day away, Mt Misery.
You made sense to me.
I told no one.
It was just us. Because when you're feeling low, you′ll do anything to feel less alone.
I thought I found a place I could call home.
A safe space only I could define.
A clear head and commiseration, where feeling low would feel just fine.
Oh, how I wanted to climb!
But Mt Misery was somewhere I couldn't find.
I can't see the forest for the trees – I think your summit sits somewhere inside of me that I have yet to find, so I′ll keep searching.
Until I can climb, if I can find the time.
And when I reach the top I′ll find if I'll ever not feel alone, or if I′ll ever be happy, or if I'll ever be allowed to descend.
