daria

when you tried to kiss me

i only bit your tongue. when you tried to get me together

i only came undone. when you tried to tell me

the one for me was you

i was in your mattress back in 1982. daria

i won't be soothed. daria

i won't be soothed over like

smoothed over like milk

silk

a bedspread

or a quilt

icing on a cake

or a serene translucent lake. daria

daria

daria

i won't be soothed. i won't be soothed. when you tried to tell me

of all the love you had

i was cleaning oil from beaches

seeing only what was bad. when you tried to feed me

i only shut my mouth. food got on your apron

and you told me to get out. daria

i won't be soothed. daria

i won't be soothed over like

smoothed over like milk

silk

a bedspread

or a quilt

icing on a cake

or a serene translucent lake. daria

daria

daria

daria

daria

daria

daria

i won't be soothed. i won't be soothed.
