It was supposed to be on die Life, her album in between Family Jewels and Electra Heart, but that album was scrapped and some of the songs were moved to Electra Heart.
What I get from this song and other demos from Electra Heart that got out is that the early version/project (die Life) that turned into EH was much darker and had more of a TFJ vibe with more focus on her personal life still. I really want to hear how that had sounded like :/
Lyrics [Verse 1] I stepped into a room of clocks That all told different times I stepped into a mirrored world That mirrored all our crimes You keep picking at the scab And I'll keep selling the plaster Keep telling me that I'm bad But I keep on getting better faster [Pre-Chorus] You hold me down and you hold me up You can't communicate You brought me up just to bring me down I've nothing left to say [Chorus] I've lost, I've lost my innocence I've found my self-belief And in a cup of loneliness I've found instant relief [Post-Chorus] You hold me down, you hold me up Oh daddy, are we out of luck? You brought me up to bring me down You shut me in, you shut me out [Verse 2] I'm gone, I'm gone to Heaven I'm gone, I'm gone to Hell If nobody could see I'd hold my hand out to be held [Pre-Chorus] You hold me down and you hold me up I can't communicate You brought me up just to bring me down I've nothing left to say [Chorus] I've lost, I've lost my innocence I've found my self-belief And in a cup of loneliness I've found instant relief [Post-Chorus] You hold me down, you hold me up Oh daddy, are we out of luck? You brought me up to bring me down You shut me in, you shut me out [Bridge] You keep picking at the scab So I'll keep on settling the plaster And you, you think I'm bad So I keep on getting better faster [Chorus] I've lost, I've lost my innocence I've found my self-belief And in a cup of loneliness I've found instant relief [Post-Chorus] You hold me down, you hold me up Oh daddy, are we out of luck? You brought me up to bring me down You shut me in, you shut me out [Chorus 2] I've lost, I've lost my confidence I've found my self-belief And in a cup of loneliness I sailed a thousand seas [Post-Chorus 2] You tell me what to say and wear You say that it's because you care But I prefer to be alone Than live a life that's not my own Ohh, ohh, ohh...

I dealt with a narcissist last year who completely broke down my sense of identity and convinced me I was a bad person by getting me to react & exposing the worst parts of myself…and he, unknowingly to me, humiliated me in front of the whole school. I’ve been healing, but listening to this song has rlly helped me cope. And also not question too much if I’m good or bad; I’ve learnt the art of radical acceptance. My favorite line in this song: “we stepped into a mirrored world that mirrored all our crimes”
if we compare the instrumental of this song to the instrumental of other songs on electra heart, we can see why this one was scrapped. it’s too weak and not so electric like the others, but the lyrics are just perfect.
Listened to this in 2012 on a burned cd I made driving around being young and free and in love. 11 years later it hits so good!
Love the first line. I bet one of the clocks went "CUCKOO!"

I love this so much! I can understand why it didn't make Electra Heart though, the sound is a lot different
Sounds like it should be in family jewels

Electra Heart woulda been a lot better if she had done a version with this and Miss Y and others in it ...
Erika Karlin yeah if it had E.V.O.L , scab and plaster , miss Y , and Electra heart it would be lit
I think it would've been better if they had they're own little album
I think they were meant for Die Life

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I stepped into a room of clocks
That all told different times
I stepped into a mirrored world
That mirrored all our crimes
You keep picking at the scab
And I'll keep selling the plaster
Keep telling me that I'm bad
But I keep on getting better faster
[Pre-Chorus]
You hold me down and you hold me up
You can't communicate
You brought me up just to bring me down
I've nothing left to say
[Chorus]
I've lost, I've lost my innocence
I've found my self-belief
And in a cup of loneliness
I've found instant relief
[Post-Chorus]
You hold me down, you hold me up
Oh daddy, are we out of luck?
You brought me up to bring me down
You shut me in, you shut me out
[Verse 2]
I'm gone, I'm gone to Heaven
I'm gone, I'm gone to Hell
If nobody could see
I'd hold my hand out to be held
[Pre-Chorus]
You hold me down and you hold me up
I can't communicate
You brought me up just to bring me down
I've nothing left to say
[Chorus]
I've lost, I've lost my innocence
I've found my self-belief
And in a cup of loneliness
I've found instant relief
[Post-Chorus]
You hold me down, you hold me up
Oh daddy, are we out of luck?
You brought me up to bring me down
You shut me in, you shut me out
[Bridge]
You keep picking at the scab
So I'll keep on settling the plaster
And you, you think I'm bad
So I keep on getting better faster
[Chorus]
I've lost, I've lost my innocence
I've found my self-belief
And in a cup of loneliness
I've found instant relief
[Post-Chorus]
You hold me down, you hold me up
Oh daddy, are we out of luck?
You brought me up to bring me down
You shut me in, you shut me out
[Chorus 2]
I've lost, I've lost my confidence
I've found my self-belief
And in a cup of loneliness
I sailed a thousand seas
[Post-Chorus 2]
You tell me what to say and wear
You say that it's because you care
But I prefer to be alone
Than live a life that's not my own
Ohh, ohh, ohh...

If nobody could see
I'd hold my hand out to be held
I wish that you could just admit
That you did bad things too
Instead of criticizing me
So I don't look at you
[Pre-Chorus]
You hold me down and you hold me up
I can't communicate
You brought me up just to bring me down
I've nothing left to say
