dodie - ​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

Mmmmm

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

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
