Dreaming I was only dreaming Of another place and time
Where my family's from
Singing I can hear [her] singing
When the rains have washed away All these scattered dreams
Dying Everyone's reminded Hearts are washed in misery
Drenched in gasoline
Laughter There is no more laughter Songs of yesterday
Now live in the underground
Life before the lobotomy Christian sang the eulogy
Sign my love a lost memory From the end of the century
Well, it's enough to make you sick
To cast a stone and throw a brick
When the sky is falling down It burned your dreams into the ground
Christian's lesson is what he's been sold We are normal and self-controlled Remember to learn to forget Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes
Well I'm not stoned I'm just fucked up
I got so high I can't stand up
Well I'm not cursed 'cause I've been blessed
I'm not in love 'cause I'm a mess
Like refugees We are lost like refugees
The brutality of reality Is the freedom that keeps me from
Dreaming I am only dreaming Of another place and time
Where my family's from
Singing I can hear [her] singing
When the rain have washed away All the scattered dreams
Dying Everyone's reminded Hearts are washed in misery
Drenched in gasoline
Laughter There is no more laughter Songs of yesterday
Now live in the underground

"Before the Lobotomy"
words in [] represent my changes bolding my emphasis
I have had this on repeat...it works so well to describe how I feel on every level.
