Daughters Lyrics - Present Tense - Wild Beasts

I'm taping up the windows and the doors 

I'm nailing all my pretty things to the floor 

Eyes like fire 

A tempest in the water 

Eyes like mine 

A temper like your mother's 

Daughter, please 

It's me 

Tell me what you've seen 

Daughter, please 

Spare me 

Old men's voices screaming 

And soon we'll see 

What you really mean 

All the pretty children sharpening their blades 

Where my daughter passes only ruins remain 

She's walking through the cracks in the walls 

She's walking across the chicken bones on the floor 

Just a little girl 

And jesus was a woman 

Just a little girl 

And lot who knew his daughters 

Daughter, please 

It's me 

Tell me what you've seen 

Daughter, please 

Spare me 

Old men's voices screaming 

And soon we'll sleep 

In pieces on the street 

All the pretty children sharpening their blades 

Where my daughter passes only ruins remain 

From the egg 

Broke my little girl 

Destroyer of worlds
