[Verse 1]
I'm going to rise up early every day
Overcome every obstacle in my way
Keep a secret chamber in my heart clean
Polish every surface to a brilliant sheen
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Remain positive and stay on the grind
Banish every other thought from my mind
[Chorus 1]
I'm going to make you suffer
I'm going to make you suffer
Let your yes be yes and let your no come from deep in your belly
I'm going to make you suffer
[Verse 2]
There was a captain many years at sea
Living the life of thе sailor, rugged and free
Nothing but the sky to sing him to sleep at night
Safe in thе arms of the ocean, no land in sight
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Out on the waves you try to keep warm
Nobody here to sound the alarm
[Chorus 2]
I'm going to make you suffer
I'm going to make you suffer
The first in line will receive the full brunt of the blow
I'm going to make you suffer
[Verse 3]
Woke up from a dream whimpering like an infant
Over time people tell me their dreams grow distant
And they learn to love the lives they lead
No more hungry ghosts in the chimney to feed
[Pre-Chorus 3]
You often hear stories like these
Someday I will see you on your knees
[Chorus 3]
I'm going to make you suffer
I'm going to make you suffer
Say what you like, there won't be anybody listening
I'm going to make you suffer

John Darnielle:
I’m fond of ‘Make You Suffer’ because it’s sort of pretty. There’s a lot of songs whose message is the message of ‘Make You Suffer,’ but ‘Make You Suffer’ just goes ahead and says it outright. It’s got a lovely little midtempo shuffle to it, it’s got a nice melodic hook, and I think...
