Daddy Badflower

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And 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

[Chorus]
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...

[Verse 2]
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
