Onion girl

I'm a bit un-stable, she said
With a cheshire grin
So many cracks in my sidewalk, boy
Well don't you fall in
Feels like the things that I've wanted
The most in this life
I can't have
So you see
I've been damning the world
Before it damns me

She said
I'm naked and shameless
And peeling back the layers
Like an onion girl
Don't try to save me
Just stay away
'Cause I might make you cry
Like an onion girl
Like an onion girl

Second grade playground
I still haven't the nerve
Fear is under my skin
Like St. Anthony's fire
And I can't stand the burn
So let's break a little bread
Have a little laugh
I haven't laughed for a while
'Cause it's a long road back
From the womb tonight

(chorus)
