Lyrics[]

There's something cold and blank
behind her smile
She's standing on an overpass
In her miracle mile
(Coma):
"Cause you were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today, today
Today to run away"

A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself

Her mouth was an empty cut
And she was waiting to fall
Just bleeding like a Polaroid that
Lost all her dolls
(Coma):
"You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today, today
Today to run away"

A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
(Coma):
"You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today"

A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
