Trail of Misery

Folder: 
Crimson

I started walking down the lonely road alone
Chasing dreams as far as I could go
I started out with eyes so blue and bright
Staring out in wonder at every wondrous sight
Chasing and staring and taking it all in
Falling and reaching, hopeless til the end


Behind every footstep a memory
Shadows covering all that used to be
Behind every smile a tragedy
Trying to cover my trail of misery
Behind me in the shadows I have seen
Tear-stained sadness, beautiful dreams
Happy blended with sadness seemlessly
Behind every smile a tragedy
Trying to cover my trail of misery


I've been so many places
Found myself in the strangest places
Meeting many other faces
Learning secrets, turning pages
I smile when I know I can't hid the pain
I grin through shattered fragments of my shame


And behind every smile's a tragedy
Trying to cover up my trail of misery


Behind every footstep a memory
Shadows covering all that used to be
Behind every smile a tragedy
Trying to cover my trail of misery
Behind me in the shadows I have seen
Tear-stained sadness, beautiful dreams
Happy blended with sadness seemlessly
Behind every smile a tragedy
Trying to cover my trail of misery


Through it all I still remain right here
Still searching for the wonder without fear
I'm not held back by anything
I still chase the stars that light my dreams
I still chase away the memories
Always hoping, wishing, dreaming of what could be


In front of me are footsteps to new memories
Shadows waiting for the lights to recede
Always a smile to deny the agony
Walking forward from my trail of misery
In front are things worth discovering
Happy mixed with sadness in between
Always a smile to deny old tragedies
Left in the wake behind my trail of Misery


Behind every footstep a memory
Shadows covering all that used to be
Behind every smile a tragedy
Trying to cover my trail of misery
Behind me in the shadows I have seen
Tear-stained sadness, beautiful dreams
Happy blended with sadness seemlessly
Behind every smile a tragedy
Trying to cover my trail of misery


Brushing remnants from the scenes
Left behind in my trail of misery

Author's Notes/Comments: 

So, Jessica Jones said she just followed the trail of misery. Killgrave said it would make a great band name. I thought it would make an awesome song. So, here it sits.

RoC's picture

Not overly sure.

It was from the Netflix show Jessica Jones.
Misery Index....that has an interesting ring to it alone. I think I may get started working on that.
Preciate the stop by, as always
