Stay Small

Stay Small

Receiving End Of Sirens (The)
(album: The Earth Sings Mi Fa Mi)

Son, I´m sorry for this world,
And all the awful things she´ll do to you.
If you only knew what you´d endure before you were born,
I haven´t got a single doubt,
You would have not come out,
And I would have known it was for the better.

You´ll be raped of any evidence,
Of ever owning any innocence.
This culture´s a vulture,
And you´re prime candidate for prey.
I´ve learned that I will lose all that I´ve ever loved one day,
But I never thought I´d ever have to watch it all go,
Or wish it all away.

I know you´ll grow,
But I wish I knew you´d stay small if I said so.
Please just don´t grow.
Please just don´t grow.
Just stay small.
Stay small

Daddy´s little girl met the world,
I watched the devil do his work.
If only she knew just how sorry I was.
I found not a single prayer,
Could save my daughter from despair,
As long as she stayed in love with this place.

It´s because I truly love her,
That I wish to take back the work,
That brought her here in the first place.
Had I only known that one act would be the reason
That my new baby girl,
Like her dad would dance with demons.

We watch the devil do his work in us.
I watch the devil do his work.
