Dear bun in my oven, with love that never dies
I save you this here laughter, cause all you'll hear are cries
This world you're born into is rotten
Rotten to it's core
Salvation is the answer, it's cantor sings false lore
I'll shield you from the outside
I'll block it's hate and fear
And when you fall I'll be right there to wipe away the tears
Dear daughter you are very small
Too small to understand
But one day you'll wake up and see
Just what's killing me
Children die and fathers lie
And this is just the start
But if you're smart and i teach you well
You'll do more than just cry
