I start out my day
I'm running late gotta get his food on the plate
He knows I'm around
I'll not make a sound cause I know he depends on me
I'll wake and do it all again
Complacent with the way it's always been
I take my mother's dress off
Take off that pretty hair
Become somebody else somebody
I want me to be
And I wipe that makeup off
And I'll begin to see
Out of these eyes the way a decent man's supposed to see
Today the freight train came
They want a story and she's gonna ruin this for me
Oh these invisible feet
Stepping on me exposing all that I wanna keep
She'll see yeah
I put my mother's dress on
I don that pretty hair
Become somebody else somebody I want me to be
And I put that makeup on
And I'll begin to see
Out of these eyes the way a decent girl's supposed to see
She'll see yeah
I live inside you but you don't fill me
When you become her
That's what you always should have been
I have control now
I do it from the grave
It's for your own good trust me
And with my mother's dress on
And all that pretty hair
Become somebody else
Somebody my mom wants me to be yeah
And with that makeup on
My mom begins to see
That I've become the girl she always wanted me to be
She'll see
