Daughters

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

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 mean

All the pretty children sharpening their blades

Where my daughter passes only ruins remain

She's walking through the cracks in the walls

She's walking across the chicken bones on the floor

Just a little girl

And jesus was a woman

Just a little girl

And lot who knew his daughters

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

From the egg

Broke my little girl

Destroyer of worlds
