all my daughters (demo) Lyrics
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
Mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm
[Verse 2]
I felt it all go slack
Oh my god, 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
[Chorus]
(Mmm-mmm)
I'm not who they think I am!
(Mmm-mmm)
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
Mmm-mmm-mmm
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
[Chorus]
(Mmm-mmm)
I'm not who they think I am!
Mmm-mmm-mmm
(Mmm-mmm)
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
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
Mmm-mmm-mmm
