Daddy
(专辑: OK, I'M SICK - 2019)
Sweet little girl, with nothing to say She hides in the
smile she wears on her face The
secrets of her, the
family keeps The
secrets of him that blacken the
sheep She shakes at the
sound of jingling keys The
man that she loves, the
violent disease 'Cause when he's around, there's nothing to hide She makes no sound as she swallows her pride Daddy only comes when he's ready for more She waits on the
floor She watches the
door And daddy only comes when he's begging for more And just like before He opens the
door Weigh your heart against my eyes (Are you sober now, is it over?) Weigh your heart against my eyes (She'll be so let down when she's older) Play her father when she cries (Now she's so messed up, and she says-) All I
want is Now he returns, like every time With rum on his breath, and her on his mind There's no one around to witness the
crime A
scream won't sound past the
property line The
man that she loves, the
wicked offense She takes the
attention, suppresses the
rest Emotion and pain, it can't be disguised The
smaller she feels, the
bigger she cries And daddy gives it all 'cause he loves you the
most He's stretching your clothes You're clenching your toes He says he gives it all 'cause he loves you the
most He's holding you close His hands on your throat Weigh your heart against my eyes (Are you sober now, is it over?) Weigh your heart against my eyes (She'll be so let down when she's older) Play her father when she cries (Now she's so messed up, and she says-) All I
want is you All I
want is Now she's of age, and he's on his last But nothing can heal the
scars of her past She feels so alone and angry, because She sees him the
way the
family does So late in the
night, her eyes seeing red And daddy lay sick on the
hospital bed She creeps in the
room with a
bag in her hand And smothers the
face of a
terrible man If daddy only stopped when she begged him before He'd be so much more She'd be so much more If daddy only stopped when she begged him before Weigh your heart against my eyes (Are you sober now, is it over?) Weigh your heart against my eyes (And she's so let down, now she's older) Play his daughter when he lies (Now you're so messed up, and he says-) All I
want is you (Now you're so messed up, and he says-) All I
want is you (And she's so let down when he lies) All I
want is
