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
