Daughter

Alone, listless
Breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl, violence
Center of her own attention

The mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it
She tries to make her proud
The shades go down, it's in her head
Painted room, there's something wrong

Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me

She holds the hand that holds her down
She holds the hand that holds her down
She will rise above
Whoa, whoa

Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me

Don't call me daughter, no don't call me
Don't call me
The picture kept will remind me

The shades go down
(The picture kept will remind me)
The shades go down
(The picture kept will remind me)

Don't call me
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me
