"Alanis" lyrics

Alanis
How did you ever keep your sanity?
Alanis
Lived out your pain through sweet profanity
Your heart, it was bleeding
When you told all your secrets
And they showed no sympathy
Alanis
How did you ever keep your sanity?

Scream on the stage and let out the rage
Till the lights go dark
Fame is hollow, jagged pill's hard to swallow
While they pick you apart
Oh, Alanis

Alanis
Your anger was a medicine I didn't know I would need
I'm finding that there's not much difference between you and me
You understand all the thoughts in my head
That make my words extreme
Alanis
You're the medicine I didn't know I would need

Scream on the stage and let out the rage
Till the lights go dark
Fame is hollow, jagged pill's hard to swallow
While they pick you apart

One hand in my pocket
Yeah, the truth is shocking
When there's nothing to lose
I know how to be brave
Keep the demons away
All because of you
Oh, Alanis

Alanis
How did you ever keep your sanity?

Scream on the stage and let out the rage
Till the lights go dark
Fame is hollow, jagged pill's hard to swallow
While they pick you apart

One hand in my pocket
Yeah, the truth is shocking
When there's nothing to lose
I know how to be brave
Keep the demons away
All because of you
Oh, Alanis

Oh, Alanis
