lyrics

tie a rope around my waist
drag me across an open field
help me lose my memory
I won't forget

feed me 7UP and ice cream
rate me on a scale of fine to worse
talk to them like I don't understand
I'm too hurt to be humiliated

iced coffee
bagels in the morning
they don't let you sleep at night
IV
bloody baggies
bruised and held with scotch tape

and all these places where you can't go cuz you didn't know to them
and all these thoughts you're too young to think
impressionable don't mean anything cuz you can't read between the lines

it's what they say
it's all ok
I read it in Parenting Magazine today
you're not listening

tell me I'm better
tell me I'm smarter
leave me alone

books that you read to make you feel stronger
grades that you make to help make you feel stronger
people you listen to to help make you feel better
opinions you have don't make you any better

give me one more chance
I know I can

give me a secret key
that gets me out
