Great job on transcribing the lyrics, strykerchick! There are some parts of that song that are really hard to understand. I have tried my best to transcribe the song as well, building upon the foundation you provided. Most of it is the same. I have italicized the differences from your version. I'm interested to see what you think.
To think that I would die this time
Isolated in the room where the bed rises
Photographic ordinary people are everywhere
Extraordinary histories, ordinary histories, ordinary histories
I'll find sleep, I'll find peace, or in death you'll sleep with me.
To figure that it was my fault
Or so I've come to realize life is not about
<i>Left for</i> someone - (ordinary people are everywhere)
Extraordinary people are, ordinary people are, ordinary people are
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn, illness is watching, waiting its turn.
Did I go at it wrong?
Did I go intentionally to destroy me?
I'm suffering in noise I'm suffering in - (touching ordinary body)
The burning from within the burning from with - (ordinary <i>hysteria</i>)
I could not be at rest, I could not be at peace - (extraordinary <i>hysteria</i>)
So do yourself <i>some</i> good, or do yourself a death from ordinary causes
Or do yourself a favor, or do yourself a death from ordinary causes
<i>Illness likes to</i> prey upon the lonely, prey upon the lonely
<i>Wave goodbyes</i>, oh, I would rather be dead I would rather be <i>f***ed</i>
I want to be well, I want to be well, I want to be well, I want to be well.
And I forgive you even
As you choke me that way
With the pill or demon and the <i>traditional(?)</i>
Under conversation
In tremendous weight of
A crowd of ages all <i>side(s)</i>
<i>dress for mourner</i>
I'm not fing around
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fing around
And shall I kiss you even as you take me that way?
With the pill or demon as my body changes
Apparitions gone awry
They surround me, all sides
<i>But from within I see in
unholy changes</i>
I'm not fing around
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fing around
I went through and listened to the song while reading your interpretation and it definitely sounds like he's saying "ordinary hysteria." I think this song is about mental illness, so that makes more sense.

Thanks so much for giving your take on it!

It's definitely "A crowd of ages outside / dressed for murder".
