Daughter Lyrics
Today I woke up early
I saw you sleeping there
I rose and tiptoed softly out
To see day dawn through cold air
The grass and leaves were lacy
In white dew soon melt away
I really wanted somebody to
Hold me and to say
Don't blame yourself so hard
You only did what we all do
You thought your love was enough to
Change his mind
Change his heart
Provide a place for your lives to start
But it takes two to try to
It takes two tryin'
It takes two tryin'
And you can't will
You can't will
You can't will love, love to life
But you can do the loving thing
Make like a bird and fly

Asteria _2889
Woken up like an animal
Teeth ready for sinking
My mind's lost in bleak vision
I tried to escape but keep sinking
Limbs lost to a dead wait steak
Skull cage like a prison
And he has lost faith to ever see again
So may he once taught of me then
Underneath the skin there's a human
Buried deep within there's a human
And despite everything I'm still human
But I think I'm dying here
Waking up like an animal
I'm all ready for healing
My mind's lost with nightmares streaming
Waking up (kicking screaming)
Take me out of this place I'm in
Break me out of this shale case I'm in
Underneath the skin there's a human
Buried deep within there's a human
And despite everything I'm still human
I think that I'm still human
Underneath the skin there's a human
Buried deep within there's a human
And despite everything I'm still human
But I think I'm dying here

Woken up like an animal
Teeth ready for sinking
My mind's lost in bleak vision
I've tried to escape but keep sinking
Limbs lost to a dead wait steak
Skull cage like a prison
And he has lost faith to ever see again
So may he once taught of me then
Underneath the skin there's a human
Buried deep within there's a human
And despite everything I'm still human
But I think I'm dying here ♪♬
