I am overcome with pity
I am overcome with rage
I was burning -- buried alive
Laying dead upon your stage

I’m nothing, and I’m worthless
Seems there’s nothing I can do
Can’t live here any longer
Love, I’ll never be with you.

Demons in my shadow,
And demons in my mind.
They’ve gotten my attention
‘Cause I was left behind

I’ve got a marijuana soul;
Suicide -- pill binge;
There’s a hole inside my heart
Refilled by a syringe.

Yet again I beg for death
How typical of me
‘Cause I am plagued-- how pitiful--
I know you’ll set me free.

So shine bright, my shooting-star
You can never be replaced
I wear my heart on my corset--
Laced and then unlaced.
