lyrics

I always feel like I want to disappear. It makes me sad to live without someone that I can't live without, and I don't think that happiness is here. I meant to say that I'm in the way, but I won't bother anyone.
There's still a place that I'll always know. My friends are there, and I often go where I'm not scared and I don't hide, because a book's as good as a suicide.
I need someone to tell me who to be. A drug addiction at its height - what story should I read tonight? The pain is always catching up to me, and loneliness has settled and, but what I read just saved my life.

Arsenic and formaldehyde. We hide the things that we want to hide. A book's as good as a suicide.

We met at school and talked the night away. Someone to touch me and to wipe away the tears we cried tonight. If only I could say it was my own and not some fictional fantasy I wouldn't have to risk my life anymore.
