Porcelain Doll
I'm not allowed to make my own decisions
I shouldn't go out at night
I'm much too fragile to understand nuance
Or the difference between wrong and right
I can be the victim of some horrible crime
That makes a sensitive man feel like the calendar's lying
I just exist for you to feel sorry for
As long as I stay out of sight
I am not
Some Porcelain Doll
When you drop me I won't come apart
And I won't be offended if you ask me awkwardly why is my skin so dark
Are you sure you're not
The Porcelain Doll
If I press you will you fall apart
And I won't be so effective
If I don't share my invectives with you from the start
I'm too scared to tell you how to pronounce my name
I let you put me on parade
I laughed along with what's now unspeakable
Dumbed it down to get paid
I can be momentarily celebrated for my foreignness
Or my unlikely success
I'm only here so the cowboys look decent
I make their bad feelings go away
I am not
Some Porcelain Doll
When you drop me I won't come apart
And I won't be offended if you ask me awkwardly why is my skin so dark
Are you sure you're not
The Porcelain Doll
If I press you will you fall apart
And I won't be so effective
If I don't share my invectives with you from the start
I am not
Some Porcelain Doll
When you drop me I won't come apart
And I won't be offended if you ask me awkwardly why is my skin so dark
Are you sure you're not
The Porcelain Doll
If I press you will you fall apart
And I won't be so effective
If I don't share my invectives with you from the start
I shouldn't go out at night
I'm much too fragile to understand nuance
Or the difference between wrong and right
I can be the victim of some horrible crime
That makes a sensitive man feel like the calendar's lying
I just exist for you to feel sorry for
As long as I stay out of sight
I am not
Some Porcelain Doll
When you drop me I won't come apart
And I won't be offended if you ask me awkwardly why is my skin so dark
Are you sure you're not
The Porcelain Doll
If I press you will you fall apart
And I won't be so effective
If I don't share my invectives with you from the start
I'm too scared to tell you how to pronounce my name

The Porcelain Doll
If I press you will you fall apart
And I won't be so effective
If I don't share my invectives with you from the start
