I was locked in a box
In realms of what I am not
And no one came to be my saviour
It was the people who raised her
Who drove down the sideline short
I spit it out like a retort
Thinking I could resist the tide
And that it would keep me alive
But it only drove me deeper into the abyss
They sealed the promise with a kiss
As they sped up the car
I watched from the back seat and what you are
Can never catch my spirit
I say it louder so you might hear it
Because the fodder fails to listen
They just watch the teardrops glisten
On the glass that is cracked and scratched
I’ll be the bitch you can’t take back
No matter how hard you try
And you may never see me die
But you will watch me leave
I won’t wait for you to believe
I will just close the door
On what you thought you knew more
Than you ever knew me
The past is grey history
As it fades from view
Like the authority does from you
In the wine and in the water
You have lost a daughter
