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 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,
Watched the devil do his work.
If she only knew just how sorry I was.
I found not a single prayer,
To 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.
