all my daughters - Dodie

Someone hold me down, before

I book a flight to your front door

No one else will bring relief

…And I don’t want to grieve

Heaving life into the dead

The book is closed, the words were said

Everyone but me just knows

…how to let go

I felt it all go slack

I wail aloud I need it back

I’ll grow the bones myself then

…On my own again

I’m twenty five, I’m twenty five

And all this shit proves I’m alive

But I spend the day just spending days

…take it away

I’m not who they think I am!

I try too hard not to give a damn but I feel it

How they love me

All my daughters

But I’m screaming underwater

I will hurt you

Almost definitely

Ask the people

Who have left me

Was there any other way?

Different path, a different day

Every lover walking free

…now rid of me

I’m on a train, I’m in a car

Washing my hair, I’m in the dark

I hate the world, and it doesn’t care

… we just sit there

I’m not who they think I am!

I try too hard not to give a damn but I feel it

How they love me

All my daughters

But I’m screaming underwater

I will hurt you

Almost definitely

Ask the people

Who have left me

I’m not who they think I am!

I try too hard not to give a damn but I feel it

How they love me

All my daughters

But I’m screaming underwater

I will hurt you

Almost definitely

Ask the people

Who have left me
