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
