Daughters

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm taping up the windows and the doors I'm nailing all my pretty things to the floor Eyes like fire A tempest in the water Eyes like mine A temper like your mother's [Chorus] Daughter, please, it's me Tell me what you've seen Daughter, please spare me Old men's voices screaming And soon we'll see What you really need All the pretty children sharpening their blades Where my daughter passes only ruins remain [Verse 2] She's walking through the cracks in the walls She's walking across the chicken bones on the floor Just a little girl Jesus was a woman Trust a little girl And Lot who knew his daughters [Chorus] Daughter, please, it's me Tell me what you've seen Daughter, please spare me Old men's voices screaming And soon we'll sleep In pieces on the street All the pretty children sharpening their blades Where my daughter passes only ruins remain [Outro] From the egg Broke my little girl Destroyer of worlds
