I may not feel Alive, but I'm still 
breathing in the ashes
They burned Atlanta down. 
I'll escape from the scene,
but I'll never leave this town
Recognized prominence. I am above this, but I don't want this fame.
I am obsessive, manic depressive, but I am ageless and vain
I've spent the best years of my Life
Hear these wicked words
From the favorite to the critic
what a heartless, wicked thing to say
Beating on my chest, they pushed the ashes out.
Escape isn't a dream, but it's all I dream about.
Recognized prominence. I am above this, but I don't want this fame.
I am obsessive, manic depressive, but I am ageless and I 
may not feel Alive but I am still
From the favorite to the critic
what a heartless, wicked thing to say
