The Knife-Thrower’s Daughter

[00:29.12] Did your house have lions?
[00:32.07] Did your house have mice?
[00:35.72] Always something in the cupboard
[00:39.06] A window stuck with ice
[00:42.70] When your head hit the pillow
[00:46.07] Did your dreams come alive?
[00:49.83] Or in the dark, did you tremble
[00:52.56] Hoping to survive?
[00:59.46] You were promised sunbeams
[01:00.81] Ignoring all the science
[01:03.89] Looking up with awe at kings and queens and giants
[01:15.83] I'm not like you
[01:18.23] Did your house have lions?
[01:20.88] Did your house have mice?
[01:24.52] Were you clapped in irons
[01:27.53] At the roll of a dice?
[01:34.84] I'm not like you
[01:40.33] Me, I had nothing
[01:41.99] But I was living in a world
[01:44.89] Where nothing felt like something
[01:48.19] Something to behold
[01:52.26] I was never your Persephone
[01:55.76] Nor a moth to a flame
[01:59.23] But no one ever told me
[02:01.94] My skin was in your game
[02:06.74] Your daddy wrote the rulebook
[02:09.62] So you could break the rules
[02:13.27] We only had the good book
[02:16.28] Born-yesterday fools
[02:23.61] You're not like me
[02:27.65] Me, I had nothing
[02:30.60] But I was living in a world
[02:33.98] Where nothing felt like something
[02:36.97] Something to behold
[02:40.78] Nothing felt like something
[02:43.68] Something to behold
[03:16.73] Did your house have lions?
[03:19.00] Did your house have mice?
[03:22.33] Were you scared of the science?
[03:25.30] Were you trapped in a vice?
[03:29.32]
