Solitary Daughter

[Verse 1] With the conviction of the woman you made me I find blades of grass from the island you lent me I find on every floor, in every drawer Though I'm not an island, I'm a body of water Jeweled in the evening, a solitary daughter If picked at by noon, by midnight I'm ruined [Chorus] Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow [Verse 2] If each blade of grass was meant here for me Split apart, sliced, and wedged in for me Who's gonna treat it? I'm not going to need it [Chorus] Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow [Bridge] I am a lake, don't need to be watered I am an ocean, I don't need to barter I play with the moon, my only friend It pushes it pulls me, I don't pay the rent I don't need the walls to bury my grave I don't need your company to feel saved I don't need the sunlight, my curtains don't draw I don't need the objects to keep or to pawn I don't want your pity, concern or your scorn I'm calm by my lonesome, I feel right at home And when the wind blows, I get to dancing My fun is the rhythm of air when it's prancing I play with the moon (Play with the moon), my only friend (My only friend) It pushes it pulls me, I don't pay rent (I don't pay rent) I don't need the walls (Don't need the walls) to bury my grave (Bury my grave) I don't need your company to feel saved (To feel saved) I don't need the sunlight, my curtains don't draw (My curtains don't draw) I don't need objects to keep or to pawn (To keep or to pawn) I don't want your pity, concern or your scorn I'm calm by my lonesome, I feel right at home [Chorus] Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow
