Father
 Father
 Father
 Father is a blackout
 Father is a sacrificial art
 Ready for sacrifice
 The holy rite
 Romanticized
 Some distant shrine
 A valentine
 Pretty paper shine
 Ego stroked
 And stitched inside...
 I take it and take it
 And take it again
 I take it and take it
 And take it again
 I Just rip you out, just get you out
 Return to your karma
 Live another life
 Be the daughter, be the wife
 Receive your lashings this second time
 Be the beggar, be the shrew
 Bring this karma upon you
 And the river runs red
 And the banished bed
 Received your lessos, pick up the thread
 We take it and take it
 And take it again
 We take it and take it
 And take it again
 Feelings wash anew
 Another Father's Day too
 A scab torn fresh
 The blood lets, the skin stings
 But my tears don't spring
 Cause cynicism is my middle name
 Don't come here to blacken my birth
 Don't remember me
 I'm not your baby girl
 I take it and take it
 And take it again
 I take it and take it
 And take it again
 I take it and take it
 And take it again
 Father
 Father
 Father
 Lilacs and hidden rooms
 The scent of loss
 The whiff of doom
 Father
