More Than Just Cry


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
