v1
She hates the sound of her voice, so do all the other girls and boys
She hates the sound of her own laugh, when she smiles, she has to take it back
Chorus
Welcome to the Dollhouse there's your room now face the crowd, where's your speech, silently turn and walk behind me
Welcome here's your number there's your room now take the picture, in the hall on the wall, compared to them you're much too tall,
prepare to fall
Verse 2
She started cutting her skin, because to them it was much to thin
She loved the color red, she watched it spill onto the bed
(chorus)
Bridge:
Frankly I'm a bit concerned, it doesn't seem like you have learned
kids don't like you, where's your friends, don't you want it all to end?
straighten up and shut your mouth, stitch it up you're bleeding out
where's your father is he home, why are you always alone?
Frankly this is the third time this week that you have come to me,
I'm sorry if your heart is torn but scars will heal and you will learn
(chorus)

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop

LIFE TEACHES US THE ART OF LETTING GO.
Dissolve. Go beyond. Rise above. Stop. Cut across. Celebrate. Love. or However.
Transcend it beautifully. With a melody.
