I’m no girl next door
I’m no saved Cinderella
I’m just God’s daughter

I’m no girl next door
I’m no saved Cinderella
I’m just God’s daughter
They enter your dreams
Force your face to the mirror
Then steal all your hope
How many closets did we crawl into
How many midnights awakened
By an ever-fixed, screaming star
And I, another day older
No closer still, no more able
To take us away from the chaos
Carelessly strewn about the sky
We were forced to live under
But there we were
Closet door and mouths closed tight
Waiting for morning to come
And I, another day older
Stay
best Friend
who’d understand
you’d understand
this heartfelt need
this destructive deep
swim now or drown
you’d tell with love’s frown
my sister
you’d say
wake from sleep
