manic (Live Version) Lyrics

Capture me like a firefly

I'm a devil on the loose with a sweeter side

And I think that I should probably get some help

The voices in my head they wanna drown me

When the rain comes down I feel safer

But the voices still try to change her

I get so sad I start to panic

Through my veins my thoughts go manic

Punish me for the way I am

But no one ever stops to look over at the man

Who took the child and threw her on the overpass

Made friends with the pavement like it would be my last, my last

My last

When I'm alone it seems I'm in danger

Is anyone attempting to save her

Got an idea she's already planned it

Why can't everybody know what it's like

Manic

Strip me down don't you know that I am rotted to the core

You can love me till I bleed but I will probably ask for more

Every time I see you, all I hear is violins

Some say that I'm tough to love, but as a kid I never got no hugs

And that makes it real hard to let things go

But I try to take the things that I've seen and make sense of reality

If I could just go back for today I would tell myself I'd be okay

That my body would change into something I like and not every conversation ends with a fight

You don't know what I'd do to have just a moment with you

Moment

Suffocate me with your body so I can fall asleep

Rub my thighs as my mind finally begins to comfort me

Is this heaven

Or am I living in a dream

Manic

Or am I living in a dream
