This is a life of extremes
Both sides are slippery and enticing
These are my places off the rails
And this, my loose recollection of a falling
I barely remember who I failed
I was just trying to keep it together. This is my first wave of my white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
This, my surrender, if that's what you call it
In the anatomy of my crash.

Additional quotes by Alanis Morissette

How to lie to yourself and thereby to everyone else,
How to keep smiling when you're thinking of killing yourself,
How to numb a-la-holic to avoid going within,
How to stay stuck in blue by blaming them for everything. I'll teach you all this in eight easy steps,
A course of a lifetime, you'll never forget.
I'll show you how to in eight easy steps,
I'll show you how leadership looks when taught by the best.

Soon I’ll grow up, and I won’t even flinch at your name.

But this won't work as well as the way it once did
Because I want to decide between survival and bliss.
And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am,
But I know I won't keep on playing the victim. These precious illusions in my head
Did not let me down when I was a kid
And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend.
