Misery Conquers the World - Pears

Braced for a collision

Long before a hint of harm

A distant plea just loops, repeats

Much like a car alarm

Saying «pleasure is a cancer child

You must address your health»

Soft open of an injury

Invoked to make me well

Happiness is stillness

There’s a u-haul in my heart

Teeming with full speed ahead

Needle tipped into the red

Conviction is the catalyst

That drives us far apart

A banner read simply unfurled

Misery conquers the world

There’s no respite from damage

When so violently instilled

The product of a panic button

Sticky from a spill

Sidetracked by bitter ironies

Sincerely insincere

Brute soldiering through suffering

It gripped my hand, slow danced me here

Misery loves company

And we’re an LLC

Welded in purest intent

Spending good will we were lent

Dourness incorporated

Founded under me

Mission states «downward I swirl

Misery conquers the world»

Let the bodies hit the floor

A smile’s not a smile anymore

The breadth of my obsession

Left impressions on my pawns

Monkey will do as he sees

A legion unlovable me

Life is imitation

And the Carolers I spawn

Follow with tails pinned and curled

Spirits all twisted and twirled

Expression inept

Crayons connect

A message that reads

Quite backwards indeed

Misery conquers the world
