"Misery Loves a Symphony"

I knew I was approaching it.
But I'm there.
Crowds no longer part.
Smiles are no longer given
when you see who it is that shoved you out of the way.
So far gone
I can't even bring myself to push through.
Bartenders are blind.
The only way he'll see me now is if I'm holding a ten-tip.
I never used to pay for a drop or wait for a second.
Forget about lines.
Un-attainable.
Both still so true.

I don't care what you say. Its a second class citizen situation. Whether its in our heads or is actually happening and is in yours doesn't really matter. Its a community effort. Don't try to say you're not a part. I can tell from the way you can't look me in the eye anymore.

So clearly remembered why I needed a cigarette to keep myself busy. And how I couldn't be content [before the reveal] without a drink.

Won't you sing me the blues?
Sing me something my heart can use.
Misery loves a symphony.
Does your pretty face get lost in a crowd?
And you say no one's there to hear you cry out loud?
What will you do Suzie Blue?

I was all set to write my thoughts on regrets. It seems ironic now.
Where'd you learn to do that so well? It would be like a bad kiss and tell. A secret I'd show you.
I am far away from the love I used to hold.
Dont sit and watch your self. The day is new, Suzie Blue.
Always have been in love with that song. Never did it have this much meaning before.
Real-life has let me down.
You'd better believe I've been robbed. It may be me that owes me.
Not only are the jewels missing but the metal's been melted down too.
Gold is at its highest market price in history.
I'm to blame and I know it.
Doesn't make there any less misery.

When you have everything, you have everything to lose.
She made herself a bed of nails and she's putting them to use.
Words now in a different context.
My eyes are prisims on the inside.
