Broken Halo

You drew a circle on the kitchen floor

Told me to stand right there and shut the door

Polite and pretty with my hands held flat

Waiting for a medal just for looking like that (nah)

Tie the ribbon till my fingers go numb

Smiling on cue like I am deaf and dumb

(no

more)

I am not your fragile glass doll!

I am not the shadow on the wall!

I am not sweet,

I am not tame!

Scratch it off the label,

forget my name!

Choked on the sugar that you spooned me down

Broke every mirror in your tidy little town

My knees are scuffed up and my boots are wet

I'm the only promise that you never should have met

Fold the corner, burn the pristine page You can't keep a wildfire

inside a cage

(break it down!)

I am not your fragile glass doll!

I am not the shadow on the wall!

I am not sweet,

I am not tame!

Scratch it off the label,

forget my name! (yeah!)

Say it to my face!

Say it to the floor!

I don't live in that frame no more! (hahaha)

I am not your fragile glass doll!

I am not the shadow on the wall!

I am not quiet,

I am not nice!

Won't ask for permission,

won't pay the price!

I am not!

I am not!

I am not.

(pant, pant)
