Discipline Your Daughters

I can't recall that last day of sun
 Curtains closed
 And sitting with the lights out
 An uncertain emptiness surrounds me
 I'm numb and my judgments
 Have switched to autopilot
 Nothing left but echoes
 And thoughts of moving on
 Don't stay away
 Don't stay here
 Tell me all your secrets
 I promise I'll be listening
 And if you ever come back home
 I'll be waiting patiently
 Tell me nothing sacred
 I promise I won't hear a word
 And if you ever come back home
 I won't act so patiently
 Black feathers
 And an unannounced call.
 These things go hand in hand
 Like talking to you
 And the intake of glass
 I hope this knife in my hand
 Speaks for itself...
 Don't stay away
 Don't stay here
 Tell me all your secrets
 I promise I'll be listening
 And if you ever come back home
 I'll be waiting patiently
 Tell me nothing sacred
 I promise I won't hear a word
 And if you ever come back home
 I won't act so patiently
 She's not coming back
 Tell me all your secrets
 I promise I'll be listening
 And if you ever come back home
 I'll be waiting patiently
 Don't stay away
 Don't stay here
 Tell me all your secrets
 I promise I'll be listening
 And if you ever come back home
 I'll be waiting patiently
 Tell me nothing sacred
 I promise I won't hear a word
 And if you ever come back home
 I won't act so patiently
 She's not coming back
