Alone... listless... breakfast table in an otherwise empty room Young girl... violins (ence) ... center of her own attention Mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it Tries to make her proud The shades go down, it's in her head Painted room... can't deny there's something wrong Don't call me daughter, not fit to The picture kept will remind me Don't call me daughter, not fit to The picture kept will remind me Don't call me
She holds the hand that holds her down She will... rise above
Don't call me daughter, not fit to The picture kept will remind me Don't call me daughter, not fit to me The picture kept will remind me Don't call me daughter, not fit to The picture kept will remind me Don't call me daughter, not fit to me The picture kept will remind me Don't call me
The shades go down The shades go down The shades go, go, go
