You Don't Have to Be Miserable

from One​-​room Kingdom by Adam Balbo

lyrics

You don’t have to be miserable
You could just be sad with me
Yeah, sure. We’re depressed
Fuck it, let’s go bowling
I’ll be smiling blissfully
All the way to the alley
Just sitting, chilling, grinning, listening.
You talk like a choir of fucking angels sing.

You, You know. This shit’s not inevitable.
You don’t have to be miserable.

It was inconceivable
Just a short time ago
Sure, tell me how you feel
After that, we’ll try to figure out what we actually know
I’ll be joking morbidly
All the way through the god-forsaken valley
Binging and cringing at the chorus of whinging
You know you can tell me almost anything.

You, You know. This shit’s not inevitable.
You don’t have to be miserable.

Just a single kind gesture,
Goes quite a long fucking way
We’ll help each other figure shit out,
Avoid the trolls, and clear the all bullshit away.
We’ll be brooding quietly unrepentantly past the rally.
Sift the deserving from among the disturbing.
No one can teach you fucking everything.

You, You know. Even if this shit’s inevitable
You don’t have to be miserable.
