Wipe the dirt off my knees and the blood off my hands
I'm a mess, I confess, but you just wouldn't understand
Yesterday I laughed and today I cried
If you could hear what my pillows say at night
One moment I'm low and the next I'm high

Down the gutter, here I go
Throw me away
Me and my crooked halo
Just clip these wings
This pill's so hard to swallow

Doesn't it hurt when you're down on your knee?
All you feel is the cold when you're heart's made of stone
Beautifully obscene
In the dirt I'm your queen
I am the nightmare infecting your dreams

I can be your best friend, I can be your worst enemy
Up to you, here's a knife, cuts as smooth as a melody
I saw you making eyes, you don't want none of this
I'm a one way ticket to a sinking ship
You can march to the beat of my awful symphony

Down the gutter, here I go
Throw me away
Me and my crooked halo
Just clip these wings
This pill's so hard to swallow

Doesn't it hurt when you're down on your knee?
All you feel is the cold when you're heart's made of stone
Beautifully obscene
In the dirt I'm your queen
I am the nightmare infecting your dreams

Doesn't it hurt when you're down on your knee?
All you feel is the cold when you're heart's made of stone
Beautifully obscene
In the dirt I'm your queen
I am the nightmare infecting your dreams
