Center of her own attention
Child reads aloud, cries!
Tries to understand it, why?

Center of her own attention
Mother reads aloud, child tries
Tries to understand it, tries.

Breakfast table in an otherwise empty room.
Alone, listless
Breakfast table in an otherwise empty room.

Scent of a rhododendron
Center of her own attention
She gnaws the hand that holds the pan.
She holds the hand that holds her down.
She holds the hand that holds her down
She wonders, 'What the f***?'
Don't call me daughter
[It's] not fair to me.
She holds the hand that holds her down
She will rise above
Don't call me daughter
Not fit to.
The bitch of death will remind me
The picture kept will remind me
The fisher's cat will remind me.
The pictures kept will remind me.
The piece of s*** will remind me.
The picture kept will remind me.
The sheep go mad.
The shades go down.

Young girls
Violins
Center of her own attention.
