Lyrics for Daddy’s Favorite

Take me over then you're gone Played the devil's advocate so long Tainted apple not far from the tree Taste it, touch it, is it sweet like me Ten years ago, really didn't know The innocence of night twisted into knots I'm pretending, tell him for me Piss sticks underneath my naked feet Every person in the street I see I don't want them in my pageantry Two years ago, everything was so Hellish in my head, ticklish with pain No, it's not too fast, it's enough for me Everything's so wrecked, everything seemed fair to Everything Everything Everything Anything you want Daddy's favorite Got everything you wanted A life of all expenses paid I hear them coming home Undetected as you slip away I'm not saying I'm not staying I might stay here I might say it I'm not saying (these wishes are sincere) I'm not staying I might stay here (these wishes are sincere) I might say it Daddy's favorite (these wishes are sincere) Daddy's favorite Daddy's favorite Daddy's favorite Daddy's favorite Daddy's favorite Daddy's favorite Daddy's favorite
