Son, I'm sorry for this world
and all the awful things she'll do to you.
If you only knew what you'd endure
before you were born
I haven't got a single doubt
You would have not come out
And I would have known it was for the better.
You'll be raped of any evidence
of ever owning any innocence.
This culture's a vulture
and your prime candidate for prey.
I've learned that I will lose all that I've ever loved one day
But I never thought
I'd ever have
to watch it all go, or wish it all away
---------------------------------------------
I know you''ll grow
but I wish I knew you'd stay small
If I said so
Please just don't grow
Please just don't grow
Stay small
Wont you stay small
----------------------------------
Daddy's little girl met the world
I watched the devil do his work
If only she knew just how sorry I was for her.
I found not a single prayer
could save my daughter from despair
As long as she stayed in love with this place.
It's because I truly love her
that I wish to take back the sperm
that brought her here in the first place (The first place.)
Little did I know when the egg met the semen
that my new baby girl
Like her dad would dance with demons
We watch the devil do his work in us.
I watch the devil do his work.
and all the awful things she'll do to you.
If you only knew what you'd endure
before you were born
I haven't got a single doubt
You would have not come out
And I would have known it was for the better.
You'll be raped of any evidence
of ever owning any innocence.
This culture's a vulture
and your prime candidate for prey.
I've learned that I will lose all that I've ever loved one day
But I never thought
I'd ever have
to watch it all go, or wish it all away
---------------------------------------------
I know you''ll grow
but I wish I knew you'd stay small
If I said so
Please just don't grow
Please just don't grow
Stay small
Wont you stay small

Brendan said:
"The concept for the song is basically questioning the virtue of true love and whether or not that love would truly dictate bringing a child into such a world as this, or would it love them enough never to create them. This is another narrative portrayal of this family's life and a really personal song."
