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
