Father, May I? Lyrics

Covered in bruises I don't remember

I've grown a tolerance for pain

I've embraced the darkness in me

Left it bare for everyone to see

Make me pay for, pay for your sins

All I have to give won't be enough

I am not your fortunate son

And I know you won't stop

You won't stop until you've won

I'm a sister, I'm a daughter

Lead me to the slaughter

Drown me in deep water

Make me a martyr

I don't know why you even bother

We've been taught from an early age

A good girl doesn't give in to rage

But you don't trust my hysterical mind

Your dogs are closing in, they're close behind

You demand that I stay quiet stay pretty

Leave me starving on the floor

Well I've been screaming and no one's answering

My lungs are giving out

My vocal chords can't take no more

I'm a sister, I'm a daughter

Lead me to the slaughter

Drown me in deep water

Make me a martyr

I don't know why you even bother

Father, may I sleep with danger

Father, may I sleep with danger

Father, may I sleep with danger

Father, may I sleep with danger

Father, may I sleep with danger

Father, may I sleep with danger
