Solitary Daughter

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
Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow
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
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 calmed 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, 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 calmed by my lonesome, I feel right at home
Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow
