My Misery


Artist: Jax Martin
Artist's Description
"The sound of your name is my misery
Your voice in my brain is your legacy
The lessons I learned
The pictures I burned
Forever branded in my memory..."

A rocky number (I imagined a Billy Gibbons kind of sound, although the time signature may be more progressive and the gentleman who kindly recorded the demo you can listen to infused it with an almost Johnny Cash like brood.. ;) ) about a man who crashed at a roadside bar for a whiskey in the company of which to revise his last failed love chapter, with all the sober lucidity that hindsight provides.

Intended for a deep, rich male voice.

My Misery

By Jax Martin
My Misery

It’s been such a long time coming
The end was foreseen from the very beginning
How did I not see it coming?

How miserable I’ve been with you
Such a sad, sorry, boneless puppet on your string
But I’m no better without you
For now that we’re well and truly through

The sound of your name is my misery
Your voice in my brain is your legacy
The lessons I learned
The pictures I burned
Forever branded in my memory

Your scent in my sheets is my misery
Your face in my sleep is your victory
The feelings that broke
The misses that wrote
The torn out pages of our history

Aagh, twisting the tale for my misery

So perfect was your masquerade
Sparkling glitter on your crimson angel wings
How shocked was I when the mask fell

And there’s no one coming to my aid
Sober and bitter as I refind my bearings
And all that’s left to do is dwell
For now that I’ve shaken off your spell

The thought of your smile is my misery
My « upgraded » style is your legacy
The causes I fought
The battles I lost
Confusing romance and slavery

Your taste on my lips is my misery
Your name on my skin is your victory
The lies I believed
The dreams I conceived
Calling it fated or destiny

Aagh, spinning the web of my misery

(Instrumental/Guitar solo)

It was such a long time coming
The end was foreseen from the very beginning
How did I not see it coming?

And now that the lych bell is tolling

The sound of your name is my misery
Your voice in my brain is your legacy
Your words of disdain
The loss and the pain
Staging the last act of the tragedy

The cold in my heart is my misery
The hole in my house is your legacy
The days gone for sure
The future obscure
Still cloaked in a thick veil of mystery

Aagh, spelling no rest for my misery
