Familiar Misery (Remastered) Lyrics

These medications ain't nothing but a placeholder

For all of the feelings that are never really over

And there comes a time when I don't wanna try

I give up on the chemicals to fix my mind

Cause at least I'm used to the enemy I know

I look in the mirror just to see out the window

Oh it calls me by my name

And I know its face

It grabs me with its cold fingers and leads me to that place

If the future's based on history

I'll be back to my familiar misery

In dealing with this demon I've tried so many things

But with this pill I swallow I trade the muse for whom I sing

And as my body grows numb to the zombie I've become

I try to fake a smile and I act like it doesn't hurt

I have to ask myself is it getting better or am I getting used to the burn

Oh it calls me by my name

And I know its face

It grabs me with its cold fingers and leads me to that place

If the future's based on history

I'll be back to my familiar misery

But I know I'm not alone

It's always waiting by the phone

I'll try to get better

But a good thing can't last forever

Oh it calls me by my name

And I know its face

It grabs me with its cold fingers and leads me to that place

If the future's based on history

I'll be back to my familiar misery
