For all of you who insist on posting the 'mescaline change' I changed it the first time. It's been changed for a while.

Lyrics:

Standing on a bus stop

Feeling your head pop

Out in the night

In the kind of night

Where you want to be out

On the street, on the street

Crawling up the walls

Like a cat in heat

And the air is thin

And it blows through your skin

And you feel like something

Is about to begin

But you don't know what

And you don't know when

So you tear at your hair

And you scratch at your skin

You wanna run away, run away

Just get on the fucking train and leave today

And it doesn't matter where you spend the night

You just might end up somewhere in a fight, in a fight

Or calling your room on a concrete shelf

Fighting all alone, with yourself, with yourself

And you just wanna feel like a coin that's been tossed

In a wishing well, a wishing well

A wishing well, a wishing well

Well you're tossed in the air

And you fell and you fell

Through the dark blue waters

Where you cast your spell

Like you were just a wish that could turn out well

So you stand on the corner

Where the angels sit

And you think to yourself,

"This is it, this is it

This is all that I have

All I can stand

Is this air in my lungs

And this coin in my hand"

That you tossed in the air

And I fell, and I fell

All the way to the bottom

Of the well, of the well

Like those soft little secrets

That you tell, that you tell

To yourself, when you think

No one's listening to, well

And the walls spin

And you're paper-thin

From the haze of the smoke

And the mescaline

The threat of your brow

Under unmade sheets

In your ear with the noise

From the darkest streets

We ran far and wide

You screamed, you cried

You thought suicide was an alibi

But you were always a mess

You were always aloof

Yeah, it's awful, I guess

But it's the awful truth

It was truth from the first

To the last words that she read

And she emerged from the dark

Like a ghost in my head

She said, "I haven't forgot

Any words that you said

I just stare at the clocks

And I cry in my sleep

And I tear up your letters

And I burn them in heaps

And I gather the ashes

In that hole in the ground

Where we fell"

So I definitely listened to this song when I was 15 and feeling like a friendless loser that couldn't do anything right just wandering aimlessly through life and I'm so happy this song existed then. A year ago I came home from college and visited some of the really close friends I made in the last two years of high school. At one in the morning I was riding in the passenger seat of my friend's car down this long street that goes through the center of our town. Usually it's very busy but at one in the morning there's only streetlights and sleeping houses lining the road. This song came on my friend's i-pod and she was like "OMG this is like my favorite song ever" and then we proceeded to have the best damned jam session/bonding to music experience I've ever had.

(and) I tear up your letters, and I burn them in heaps, (and) I gather the ashes in a hole in the ground where they fell...anyone who's loved and lost would understand the analogy of a surgeon warning of the dangers of opening up old wounds..."better to have loved and lost, than to not...blah-blah-blah" <- yeah? ...try it. :(

Whenever people ask me to try and describe what it's like to be bipolar, I send them this song and let it do the talking

This song is my life. I found it completely on accident too; the lyrics to Trent D'Arby's "Wishing Well" were stuck in my head, and I was trying to find the song those lyrics were from.I'm glad I clicked on this first.

There is no need to bash autotune or lil wayne. I mean, Conartist554 is a schmuck sure, but still no need for that.

i actually kind of liked your comment until you insulted Lil Wayne. It's not like I listen to him and i'm offended, it's just that you couldve made your point without insulting Lil Wayne so that everyone would like your comment.
