it’s hard to believe
i cannot exist without you
as hard as i’ve tried
i cannot confess completely
these words will lament you
and do sorts of likewise behavior
it’s just part of the curse
i’m just trying to stay alive
are you out there
are you listening at all
are you out there
are you listening
to anything i’ve said
it’s hard to admit
my weaknesses can consume me
i search for the cure
in the bottles of buried volumes
the joke of it is
i express myself without purpose
yet you devour my smallness
the madness to make believe
if i can pretend, i don’t depend
i can deny, deny, denial
yet when push comes to shove
and all the above
i decide to live the lie
i cannot exist without you
as hard as i’ve tried
i cannot confess completely
these words will lament you
and do sorts of likewise behavior
it’s just part of the curse
i’m just trying to stay alive
are you out there
are you listening at all
are you out there
are you listening
to anything i’ve said
it’s hard to admit
my weaknesses can consume me
i search for the cure
in the bottles of buried volumes
the joke of it is
i express myself without purpose
yet you devour my smallness
the madness to make believe
if i can pretend, i don’t depend
i can deny, deny, denial
yet when push comes to shove
and all the above
i decide to live the lie

yeah, I definitely think those are the right words. :]
"These words were not meant to induce acts of likewise behavior."
"I search for the cure in BOTTLES OF VARIED VOLUMES."
"Yet, you devour my smallness IN MALICE AND MAKE BELIEVE"
I didn't notice it on here before, but I always thought in the first verse, the line was, "these words were not meant to induce acts of likewise behavior," not "these words will lament you and do sorts of likewise behavior."
maybe it's just me.

I think it may have been influenced by the book, but i don't know if it's actually about it. If it is, its definitely in a more subtle way than Time to Dance by Panic! at the Disco.
"i search for the cure
in the bottles of buried volumes"
- the various drugs Shannon steals..
the joke of it is
i express myself without purpose
- Brandy Alexander had all the operations just to express himself. he didn't really want to be a woman, hense 'without purpose'
"It's hard to believe I cannot exist without you."
when he says "its hard to believe i cannot exist without you" i think he's talking about depression and anxiety and all that..
"are you out there are you listening at all"
i think that part is about paranoia.
"it’s hard to admit
my weaknesses can consume me
i search for the cure
in the bottles of buried volumes
the joke of it is
i express myself without purpose
yet you devour my smallness
the madness to make believe"
I think that's about trying to find a cure for his depression/anixety/paranoia/etc. through pills & medicines.
