...Discipline Your Daughters

I can't recall that last day of sun

Curtains closed

And sitting with the lights out

An uncertain emptiness surrounds me

I'm numb and my judgments

Have switched to autopilot

Nothing left but echoes

And thoughts of moving on

Don't stay away

Don't stay here

Tell me all your secrets

I promise I'll be listening

And if you ever come back home

I'll be waiting patiently

Tell me nothing sacred

I promise I won't hear a word

And if you ever come back home

I won't act so patiently

Black feathers

And an unannounced call.

These things go hand in hand

Like talking to you

And the intake of glass

I hope this knife in my hand

Speaks for itself...

Don't stay away

Don't stay here

Tell me all your secrets

I promise I'll be listening

And if you ever come back home

I'll be waiting patiently

Tell me nothing sacred

I promise I won't hear a word

And if you ever come back home

I won't act so patiently

She's not coming back

Tell me all your secrets

I promise I'll be listening

And if you ever come back home

I'll be waiting patiently

Don't stay away

Don't stay here

Tell me all your secrets

I promise I'll be listening

And if you ever come back home

I'll be waiting patiently

Tell me nothing sacred

I promise I won't hear a word

And if you ever come back home

I won't act so patiently

She's not coming back
