Stay Small - The Receiving End Of Sirens

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 a 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,

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 she only 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

Lke her dad would dance with demons

We watch the devil do his work in us.

I watch the devil do his work.
