Hold on to your insecurities
I need them and they need me

Hold on to that pain in your chest
You're most alive
When you're nearest death
Hold on to what makes you cold
Wear it like a badge of pride wherever you go
Hold on to your hopelessness
At your worst is when you're at your best

Hold on to your grief
And then swallow it whole
Let it sit inside your belly
And then turn to gold
Try not to unbend this unruly curve
Cos we are the wonderful
We are the hurt

Hold on to your misery
I need it and it needs me
Some people spend their lives
Trying to be free
But I'll hold on to my misery

Hold on to your neuroses
I need them and they need me
Hold on to your desperation
The pleasure principle at its very foundation

What more am I owed but certain death
It seems there's nothing more
And there's nothing less
Things that I deserve
And things I never should
A little cynicism will do you good

Hold on to your misery
I need it and it needs me
Some people spend their lives
Trying to be free
But I'll hold on to my misery

Hold on to your insecurities
Hold on to your neuroses
Hold on like you know you should
A little cynicism will do you good

Hold on to your misery
I need it and it needs me
Some people spend their lives
Trying to be free
But I'll hold on to my misery

Hold on to your misery
I need it and it needs me
Some people spend their lives
Trying to be free
But I'll hold on to my misery

But I'll hold on to my misery
