The Breakdown Lyrics

It's out to get me
And it's all in my head
It wants to take me
Time to put me to bed
Can someone wake me
Against my will
And get me outta here
I'm sick of walkin on pills
I have a weakness
So tell me
Where is the bliss?
Can someone shake me

It won't let me
Everybody’s out to get me
Tell me that the lines are what they seem
Oh that the heaven screams all that I dream
Oh will it ever let go

Oh, oh no
It's a breakdown x3

All the vampires are out on the look
Do they see me?
How long will it take?
To chase the monster
That's still in my head
It’s on the sea
And it needs to be fed
I have no witness
[it wont ]
To what has been done
[let me]
It sort of had me
[everybody's out to]
And I think it has won
[get me]

Tell me that the lines are what they seem
Oh that the heaven screams all that I dream
Oh will it ever let go

Oh, oh no
It's a breakdown x3

hahahaha, i hope you're kidding.

She's talking about how she's getting paranoid about everyone - the industry, maybe? - messing with her head and watching her (All the vampires are out on the look). And how everything seems fake (Tell me that the lines are what they seem).

Tell me that the lies aren't what they seem Oh that the head-swinging's all a dream Oh it'll never let go

Oh woah no, It's a breakdown X3

I think that is mostly correct. I know for certain that the line, "oh that the head swingin's all a dream" is correct. Every other version says it's not, but it definitely is NOT the thing about heaven. That I'm certain of. The other parts I can't figure out.
