Mt. Misery from Stranger Songs by 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 our of place
And burdened with thoughts of escape
Do you know the weight of collapsing into yourself?

I find 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 consideration and 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
Or if I find the time
And if 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
