Burn it down and bleed it out

because nobody's listening.

I run away, by myself

waiting for the end.

I've given up and I am numb

looking for somewhere I belong,

a place for my head on roads untraveled

that make me hit the floor.

I'm lost in the echoes within a

castle of glass and shadows of the day

leave me crawling on hands and knees

from skin to bone until I faint

and there's nothing left me ....

Does Your Mother Know,

In The Attic,

Time Moves Slow.

Hold Your Head Up,

Imaginary Lover.

Casper's Coming Home.

Pardon me,

A simple kind of man

With broken bones,

but I won't back down,

rape me with poison oak,

two angels and a dream

destroy the dance floor

as I watch the sun

fuck the ocean.

All words are song titles except for italics that I used to string together.

Just stop the voices in my asylum

My perfect insanity is pain redifined

I'm trapped inside the fire with my demons

Caught down with the sickness

I give one last prayer to show me the light

Yet all I hear is the sound of silence

Two minutes to midnight, To here knows when 

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap--

Playing for keeps.

American life; Apocalypse please

Our perfect disease.

Tooth and nail & Heart of stone

Disposable heroes 

Clenching fists of dissent;

World peace is none of your business.

The ghost of you,

is My tourniquet.

when Disenchanted,

you Bring me to life.

I will always remember you,

Even in death.

I never told you what I do for a living,

but You know what they do to guys like me in prison.

Oh, I'm singing country western

promising to Walk the Line.

I Wish I Were in Dixie Tonight

But She’s Out of Town.

All my friends I telephone

say Here’s a Quarter, Call

Someone Who Cares.

I tried to tell my girlfriend, Dixie,

Get Your Tongue Outa My Mouth

Cause I’m Kissing You Goodbye.

I Fell in a Pile of You

And Got Love All Over Me.

She Made Toothpicks

Out of the Timber of My Heart.

She Had Velcro Arms

And Teflon Heart.

But I Don’t Believe My Heart

Can Stand Another You

Even though I Can’t Stop

Loving You

I tell my buddies

Thank God and Greyhound

She’s Gone.

But I’m sitting here alone

My Wife Ran Off With My Best Friend

And I Sure Do Miss Him.

So I wish Dixie was still In Town.

Comfortably numb

Sometimes I feel

Like a motherless child

I’m not feeling it anymore

Real real gone

Into the mystic

That boy is made up of a million *Shades of Cool*

He makes me feel *Young and Beautiful*

*God Knows I Tried* to do what I should

But how could I?

I cried *Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood*, and he never did

Then he filled me with a *Burning Desire*

That boy made my *Body Electric*

But then came the *Blackest Day*

He left the *WestCoast*, and as I broke down,he said I'm *Pretty When I Cry*

And I rage against this *Cruel World*

I rage against the *Summertime Sadness*

Maybe we'll meet again, down in the *Florida Kilos*, maybe I'll have his *Brooklyn Baby*

Maybe we'll get *High by the Beach*

I don't care what it takes, if I have to sell my soul to the *Gods and Monsters*

This separation has made me a *Sad Girl*

I've gotta believe we'll find our way back to each other, we'll be the *Lucky Ones*
