"The True Fate of Ophelia" - Woke up screaming from the American Dream.

[LYRICS]

(1, 2, 3, 4!)

The streetlights flickered out on Maple Drive
The night Ophelia decided not to survive
The pressure of the honor roll, the weight of the crown
Drank the suburban poison and she washed it down
She was the queen of the cul-de-sac, perfect in white
But she was screaming at the mirror in the middle of the night
Makeup running down like black rain on the glass
She knew the glory days were never gonna last

Oh, Ophelia! You’re floating in the stream!
Woke up screaming from the American Dream!
The water is rising in the high school hall
We’re just waiting for the curtain to fall!
Ophelia! We never heard the sound!
Of a broken heart hitting the ground!
(Whoa-oh-oh!)
Yeah, hitting the ground!

They put her picture in the yearbook with a black border frame
But nobody in this town really remembers her name
Just a ghost story told by the convenience store
About the girl who couldn't take it anymore
She left a note written in eyeliner on the sink
Said "I'm tired of swimming, I think I'm gonna sink"
Now the flowers are wilting on the side of the road
Another system failure, another overload

Oh, Ophelia! You’re floating in the stream!
Woke up screaming from the American Dream!
The water is rising in the high school hall
We’re just waiting for the curtain to fall!
Ophelia! We never heard the sound!
Of a broken heart hitting the ground!

She’s not coming back (She's not coming back)
Fade to black (Fade to black)
The river runs cold through the neighborhood
We would have saved you if we only could
BUT WE DIDN'T!
WE JUST WATCHED YOU DROWN!

[Guitar Solo]

Oh, Ophelia! You’re floating in the stream!
Woke up screaming from the American Dream!
The water is rising in the high school hall
We’re just waiting for the curtain to fall!
Ophelia! We never heard the sound!
Of a broken heart hitting the ground!

The fate of Ophelia! (Whoa-oh!)
The fate of Ophelia! (Whoa-oh!)
Sinking like a stone in a town of glass.
