Lyrics Stay Small - The Receiving End Of Sirens

Stay Small

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.
