Creeper - Misery Lyrics






Pretty, but he don't tell you about it
Winter scarves and skirts of velvet
Still drink just like we did in school
I passed your old house down by the cemetery
Club nights and university
When your friends sing 'Born to Run', baby, resist
Cause we were 'Born to Drift'

If you could see the wreck I am these days
You'd have new reasons to stay away
Just hold my hand for a little while
Misery never goes out of style

I see you sometimes in dreams I have
In your bra in the room you used to rent
Do you ever wish you could wake someone else?
And so I wrote down a list of coroners
Their names, their office phone numbers
To pronounce dead the thing we had
In tombs, ex-boyfriends bedrooms

If you could see the wreck I am these days
You'd have new reasons to stay away
Just hold my hand for a little while
Misery never goes out of style
If you could see the wreck I am these days
You'd have new reasons to stay away
Just hold my hand for a little while
Misery never goes out of style

I'm your chipped nail paint
I'm the fabric of your coat
You are all I fear
You are words I never wrote
I'm your chipped nail paint
I'm the fabric of your coat
You are all I fear
You are words I never wrote
You are years ago

If you could see the wreck I am these days
You'd have new reasons to stay away
Just hold my hand for a little while
Misery never goes out of style
If you could see the wreck I am these days
You'd have new reasons to stay away
Just hold my hand for a little while
Misery never goes out of style

    1:08 to 1:11 This riff is in another song but I can't remember which one.(Not by them, but by some other band). Can you guys please help me?

  2. S.... B....

    I love the tiny differences between this and the more stripped-back EP version. They're both so amazing I can't decide which one I prefer.

  3. X.... S....

    CREEPER AWWW MAN

  4. S.... ....

    Aww man

  5. J.... R....

    Aww man

    Aw man.

  14. K.... ....

    Creeper
    Aw man
    So we back in the mine
    Got the pickaxe swinging side to side

    K.... ....

    This task is grueling one

    K.... ....

    Hope to find some diamonds tonight

    K.... ....

    @Knee_Slayer69 night night diamond tonight

  15. U.... u....

    AWW MAN

  16. S.... ....

    Creeper, aw man,
    So we back in the mines,
    Got our pickaxe swinging from side to side, side side to side.

    S.... ....

    Oh no it’s you again

    S.... ....

    I could never forget those
    Eyes eyes eyes,
    Eyes eyes eyes

    S.... ....

    Cuz' baby tonight

    S.... ....

    all the creepers tryin steal all our stuff again

    S.... ....

    Cuz baby tonight
    Grab your pick, shovel, and bolt again
    (Bolt again -gain)

  17. B.... B....

    I love this fucking song **on repeat all day**

    B.... B....

    *AW MAN*

  18. B.... C....

    This is epic .

  19. S.... ....

    Divorced from the context of the album's story, on its own this almost feels like a video of a man deciding to kill himself (by jumping off the top of a car park), starts pondering life in his final moments on the way up, and then—when he reaches the top—remembers the people who care about him and he can't go through with it.

    Gigi Buffon, nice to see you here

    I don't want to believe that the break up is real. I hopes its just a publicity stunt for a new album, leaving behind the callous heart characters

  23. Z.... F....

    So apparently these guys broke up tonight and I just found them a couple weeks ago. And it really bums me out cause I’ve had this album on repeat ever since

    Z.... F....

    Noooo!!!! 😭 I just discovered them too. So sad 😢

    Z.... F....

    They're back :)

  24. F.... S....

    I've never listened to much from these guys, but they're one of my girlfriend's favorite bands. And even though I've barely heard their music, I'm gonna miss them.

  25. V.... ....

    Even eternity ends

  26. A.... D....

    Does anybody else think this kinda sounds like that song "heaven is a place on earth"

  27. b.... ....

    jimmy havoc

  28. A.... H....

    Seeing them in Seattle was the greatest

  29. T.... O....

    Ok why the hell was this not uk number 1

  30. T.... M....

    I cry every time

  31. A.... Y....

    Just saw this live on a festival. Few people came to see them, sadly, cause the music was pretty goood.

  32. C.... ....

    I swear some days this song is the only thing that can make me feel anything, brings me to tears every time

  33. s.... ....

    THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS OMFG

  34. j.... r....

    I cannot tell you how many times I have cried to this song.

    Okay. A lot. I have cried a lot.

  44. D.... W....

    Saw these guys live in Portland with Neck Deep. I had never really heard of them until the show. Let me tell you, these guys went hard live and they gave me such a good time. But of all the songs they played, this one really stuck out to me... Keep rocking guys and I can't wait to see another one of your shows.

  45. n.... o....

  47. R.... S....

    So many ex girlfriends and horrible break ups all brought right back to the emotional fore right here.

  48. M.... B....

    I just saw these guys open for neck deep a few days ago and they’re so sick. I left more hyped about them than I did any other band that performed that night.

  49. S.... P....

    OMG I loved this song when you played it live in Barcelona the other day!

  61. L.... S....

    Saw you guys live in cologne i am in love

  62. L.... H....

    I got to see them on Sunday in Munich bc they were one of All Time Low’s supporting acts and tbh I’ve only been listening to their album and nothing else these past days.
    My friend, who I was with, and I are addicted.
    They’re amazing!
    Also, Will’s hair is beautiful.

  63. l.... b....

    this is incredibly beautiful

  64. J.... D....

    Seriously, James look like Negan

  65. p.... ....

    Saw you live at ATL! So amazing.

  66. A.... l....

    Last night i was at the all time low concert and creeper was the support act. Misery was the last song they've played and i swear i had tears in my eyes the feeling was unbelieveble. After ATL they waite and made pics, autograms and talke to everyone a minute
    I will never forget this moment in the rest of my life thank you very much crepper. <3

  67. T.... P....

    When the verse kicks in I immediately start thinking of the widow by as cities burn. I can’t be the only one...

  68. m.... ....

    I saw you live on the all time low denmark concert i love you, i wish you had played more songs

  69. M.... D....

    will is so hot like d a d

  70. N.... C....

    I love this, and the music video as well. But the singer was being awkward during it. That was the only thing that ruined the video for me.

    N.... C....

    that's your valid opinion :-) .. but you come here to listen to the song/lyrics and its impact.. not how awkward any of the band members are.. try Blue October to see eccentric lead singer!

    N.... C....

    I think he was not awkward at all...

  71. f.... ....

    holy shit im at uni in southampton and ive walked past the crapark theyve use to get places loads, better yet i was around when they filmed this damn

  72. K.... K....

    FINALLY!!! Ah crying!!! Fave song!

  73. A.... S....

    do you hear me crying i'm seeing this amazing band in october again, can't wait 💜

  74. S.... C....

    This song is forever tied to Warped Tour 2k17 in Camden when it started raining HARD when Will jumped into the crowd singing. Honestly the best day of my life ♡

    S.... C....

    Sad Carrot Cake it was raining durring my warped date too 🖤 kinda added to the whole Creeper experience I loved it 💜🖤💜

    S.... C....

    Sad Carrot Cake it was raining when they played at my warped tour date too i was hoping they would play black rain but they didn't

  75. A.... P....

    you can feel will's emotion in this song. it's almost like he's reaching through the screen and screaming "HELP!" at you. i've never had such a personal connection with a band like this before. all we have is death.

  76. B.... V....

    you're not green as minecraft creeper xd

  77. D.... R....

    nice song

  78. A.... B....

    Isn't that the IKEA car park?

  79. J.... ....

    listened to this song back in early 2016 in a foster home...

  80. s.... s....

    Manufactured band !!!

  81. P.... C....

    heard this on KERRANG!!! this morning, love it.

    P.... C....

    yea same as me, at about 05:30 in the morning a week ago.. was blown away...song made my entire day!

  82. D.... ....

    Theyre from my home city lol

  83. P.... K....

    How the hell am I just finding this??!! This is perfection.

  84. n.... g....

    He sounds american

    n.... g....

    nora gallagher BUT he's British lol the irony

  85. S.... ....

    Does no one else think they sound a bit like Placebo???

  86. l.... 1....

    HOW IS THIS NOT FAMOUS

  87. s.... ....

    Mint range on his voice, one to watch methinks 😀

  88. P.... k....

    This was the first song I ever heard by them. I got to hear it live yesterday. It was the last song they were playing at warped for that set and just listening to him sing it and see all the emotion he put into it while singing it and the rest of the band just worked so well with it, almost like they all had a different meaning behind this song. They are gonna be huge one day I swear. It was the most beautiful thing ever to hear them perform yesterday

  89. L.... S....

    They are great songwriters.

  90. K.... ....

    THIS NEEDS TO BE IN LIFE IS STRANGE BEFORE THE STORM!!! IT´s sO FREAKING GREAT!! :D

  91. A.... S....

    it's something about this video that makes me cry every single time. Thank you, Creeper for creating such a beautiful and close fandom. And for the music. Really hope you lot come back to sweden sometime 💜

  92. J.... H....

    Fine piece of songwriting in any genre.

  93. I.... S....

    saw these at download festival 2017 they are fucking brilliant!!

  94. A.... W....

    Does the chorus not remind anyone else of Set The Fire To The Third Bar by Snow Patrol? I heard it straight away when I heard this on the radio the other day.

  95. J.... H....

    Can we just talk about you good that spinning shot at the end is

  96. c.... ....

    Saw this live at download, one of the best performances there. Even though it was at noon, even better live than here. Much respect.
