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
