ponette

I I I
Am not a flower
And I am not the thorns of your rose
I I I
Am not your lover
This is not the way the ballad goes

Bring to me
All the misery
For I am not the sunshine that you seek
Hold me down
In unholy water
Cause Im not the sun, but the daughter

I I I
Am not the answer
And I cannot bother with more lies
I I I
Am not the cancer
And I am not the babe who sweetly cries

Bring to me
All your misery
For I am not the sunshine that you see
Hold me down
This your holy water
Cause I am not the sun, but the daughter

I I I
Am not a story
And I am not your moment of regret
I I I
Am not a warning
This too Im sure you will forget

I I I
Am not the data
I am not merely DNA
I I I
am not the pattern
and I am not there when you pray

Bring to me
All your misery
For I am not the sunshine that you see
Hold me down
This your holy water
Cause I am not the sun, but the daughter
