(You guys ready?)

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
Tries to make her proud
The shades go down, it's in her head
Painted room, can't deny 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 will rise above, ooh, ooh

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, 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

The shades go down
The shades go down
The shades go, go
Go

    this song is awesome. i love how the guitar comes in at the beginning.

    by the way, shut the hell up Need4creed, pearl jam's been around alot longer and dont need shitty influences like creed. your band sucks, sorry to inform you. i guess you'll be changing your user name now that they broke up. probably to something like "shittybands4ever"
