Misery​​blink-182

Released: March 29, 2017

Songwriter: John Feldmann Travis Barker Matt Skiba Mark Hoppus

Producer: John Feldmann

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
I'm a wreck, I'm out of time, I barely made it out alive
I'm not bent, I'm not cracked, I'm just broken
I watched the fire burn the sea, I wrapped my car around a tree
Hold me up underneath this heavy burden

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]
There's a halo in the distance
Salvation's barely out of reach

[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
Torn apart like the brokenhearted
Up in smoke with the fire we started
Misery loves company, I don't need anyone
Smash it up like there's no tomorrow
Leave me here with the fear and sorrow
Misery loves company, I don't need anyone

[Verse 2: Mark and Matt Skiba]
Tied up to a heart of stone, I screamed into a microphone
I burned the bridge, so I won't find my way home
Lay with me, I can't sleep, misery loves company
When I'm bent, when I'm cracked, when I'm broken

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]
There's a halo in the distance
Salvation's barely out of reach

[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]
Torn apart like the brokenhearted
Up in smoke with the fire we started
Misery loves company, I don't need anyone
Smash it up like there's no tomorrow
Leave me here with the fear and sorrow
Misery loves company, I don't need anyone

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]
I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
Fifteen times a night, when the sun's gone down
In the dark awake, and you're not around
And the closest thought is the edge of oblivion
Fifteen times a day when you check your phone
And I won't be there and you're all alone
'Cause we always lived on the edge of oblivion
Left to find our way through a Hitchcock film
In an empty bed with an hour to kill
'Cause it's only fun on the edge of oblivion (oblivion)

[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]
Torn apart like the brokenhearted
Up in smoke with the fire we started
Misery loves company, I don't need anyone
Smash it up like there's no tomorrow
Leave me here with the fear and sorrow
Misery loves company, I don't need anyone

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]
I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
