The Fair Estate Lyrics - Desa

Within the fair estate, 

beyond the locked cast iron gate, 

tenth bedroom on the left, 

second floor, 

daughter has just locked the door 

She digs in her purse for the vial 

Within the fair estate, 

beside the pristine china vase, 

as mother's cold eyes scan the room 

Perfect, white 

Not a speck of dust in sight 

She's startled by the stereo upstairs 

A daughter's heart racing toward a flatline with no brakes 

Toward a glow-white E.R. to match the mansion 

Fashionably sterilized staring eyes close 

Within the fair estate, 

doctor's attention came too late to stop the amphetamines 

Mother's love for the girl, 

or lack thereof, 

had curled its icy fingers around her throat 

Where were you when I needed you?
