Medicine - Daughter

The winds were beating my face When the sea changed its' rhythm I left the old dominion To build one of my own I was stealing the diamonds In the eyes of life Cutting the ropes to the ones who loved I got up and cut the chain Moving in a straight direction I got to move on Into a medicine rain Falling to the dust Like rain All the corps that fed me To fight a losing battle And all the features that led me Further away from the clue I wanted to be your garden A playground for a godless child I thought I could make your world But the godless child was I Say, say, say I got to move on Into a medicine rain Falling to the dust Like rain And I was stealing the diamonds In the eyes of life Cutting the ropes to the ones who loved All the corps that fed me And all the features that led me And I was stealing the diamonds In the eyes of life Cutting the ropes to the ones who loved And all the corps that fed me And all the features that led me I got to move on Into a medicine rain Falling to the dust Like rain I got to move on Into a medicine rain Falling to the dust Like rain

And they're making children And they're making love With their old excuses We are built for reproduction But I find it soothing When I am confined I'm just fearing one day soon I'll lose my mind Then I'll lose my children Then I'll lose my love Then I'll sit in silence Let the picture soak Out of televisions Float across the room Whisper into one ear Out the other one Then I'll take my clothes off And I'll walk around Because it's so nice outside And I like the way the sun feels And when it's dark I'll call out in the night for my mother But she isn't coming back for me 'Cause she's already gone But you will not tell me that 'Cause you know it hurts me every time you say it And you know you're doing the right thing You must know you're doing the right thing I have lost my children I have lost my love I just sit in silence Let the picture soak Out of televisions Out of televisions Out of televisions Out of televisions Out of televisions And they're making children Everyone's in love I just sit in silence Let the picture soak

I am wasted, losing time I'm a foolish, fragile spine I want all that is not mine I want him, but we're not right In the darkness I will meet my creators And they will all agree, that I'm a suffocator I should go now, quietly Before my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep Where all my layers can become reeds All my limbs can become trees All my children can become me What a mess I leave To follow To follow To follow To follow In the darkness I will meet my creators And they will all agree That I'm a suffocator Suffocator, suffocator Oh, love I'm sorry if I smothered you I'm sorry if I smothered you I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside My mother Never to come out

Shadows settle on the place that you left Our minds are troubled by the emptiness Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time From the perfect start to the finish line And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones 'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs Setting fire to our insides for fun Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong The lovers that went wrong We are the reckless, we are the wild youth Chasing visions of our futures One day, we'll reveal the truth That one will die before he gets there And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones 'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead, and they are gone We're setting fire to our insides for fun Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home It was a flood that wrecked this home And you caused it And you caused it And you caused it Well, I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette I'm a lifeless face that you'll soon forget And my eyes are damp from the words you left Ringing in my head when you broke my chest Ringing in my head when you broke my chest And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one 'Cause most of us are bitter over someone Setting fire to our insides for fun To distract our hearts from ever missing them But I'm forever missing him And you caused it And you caused it And you caused it
