A left-out track from the amazing album Flavors or Entanglement, produced by Guy Sigsworth

Me and my helmet
Such an unconventional kid
All intense and kinetic
At best tolerated from afar
Not yet arrested
And by that I mean betrothed
Though a start I am newly courted
I've just not been trusted with alters
I'm a sweet piece of work
Well-intentioned, yet disturbed
Wrongly labeled and under-fed
Treated like a rose as an orchid
My friends, as they weigh in
Get understandably protective
They have a hard time being objective
So inside we cancel each other out
I'm a sweet piece of work
Well-intentioned and unloved
Unlabeled and misunderstood
Treated like a rose as an orchid
You've brought water to me
Making sure my bloom rebounds
You know best of what my special care allows
So I've lived in my blind spot
Thought myself usual when I'm not
And your garden is a nice spot
As long as it is brave and where you are
For this sweet piece of work
High maintenance and deserted
I've been different and deserving
Treated like a rose as an orchid
Sweet piece of work
Overwhelmed, unobserved
I've been bowed down to, but so misread
Treated like a rose as an orchid

that's not cliche...it's the reason why us Alanis fanatics exist. She puts into words that which we don't know how

Most all of her songs are autobiographical.
She takes them directly from her own journal which means that she is able to connect to a great deal of people if they have the skills enough to read her words and enjoy the music second.
It's real life songs that will alwsy connect with others.

This album has the best bonus tracks i've ever came across,
bonus tracks are usually ones that were too crap to make the album,
but some of these are stronger than actual album tracks
With this being one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard!
