[al: Mysterious Power]
[00:18.690] I killed myself but I didn't die
[00:23.027] She crossed her heart and stuck a needle in her eye
[00:27.524] She promised me she'll never leave me alone
[00:31.999] She doesn't sleep she only calls me on the phone
[00:35.588] All night
[00:45.452] I went to school but I didn't learn
[00:49.889] I touched the fire but I didn't feel the burn
[00:54.329] Somehow I got desensitized to the world
[00:59.016] I hate pop music
[01:00.347] And I hated the Duke of Earl
[01:02.594] Ahh
[01:12.330] I killed myself but I didn't die
[01:16.821] Now in the hospital recovering I lie
[01:21.314] None of the visitors can look me in the eye
[01:25.808] They say "how are ya?" but they don't apologize
[01:29.369] Oh no
[01:38.413] And my mum came in
[01:40.731] she was having trouble trying to speak
[01:48.548] She could see that her boy was some sort of freak
[01:57.222] I killed myself but I didn't die
[02:01.573] Now she's my baby
[02:03.080] She's the apple of my eye
[02:06.356] She only wants a sensitive guy
[02:10.744] And I've been in and out of my mind
[02:14.561] three times
[02:24.321] That's just the way
[02:25.659] the way I always was
[02:28.370] I go to therapy
[02:30.488] But I don't take the drugs
[02:32.990] I try and really look my life in the face
[02:37.642] I think I'm learning that
[02:39.455] there's no way to escape
[02:41.236] Oh no
[02:50.147] And the worst part is
[02:52.512] that I didn't even really care
[02:59.024] It's just to be or not to be
[03:01.041] And either way I'm only barely there
[03:08.915] I killed myself but I'm still around
[03:13.543] I think the living dead will like me better now
[03:18.079] I'm gonna socialize
[03:19.525] I'm gonna go out more
[03:22.416] I'll be so beautiful with nothing at the core
[03:26.363] Aw Aw
