lyrics

I was raised to hold disdain for my mother
Oh, the wrinkles on her hands and neck and shoulders
I was raised to hold disdain for her size
Oh, the belly that once held me like a prize

As I sit her tailoring the nightgown that she made
Oh, I realize that my own skin begins to look the same

I was raised to hold disdain for my mother
Oh, her handmade things and tendency to smother
I was raised to hold disdain for her power over me
Now I wish there was someone to tell me how the hell to be

As I sit her tailoring the nightgown that she made
Oh, I realize that my own skin begins to look the same
