My father was a peaceful man
I was collateral in his peaceful plan
I was isaac, he were Abraham
Except without the ram
I was placed upon the alter
to the god of calm and proper
to the god of family secrets
My father was a peaceful man
Blessed are the peacemakers
and those that uphold the status quo
David’s daughter, Tamar was raped
He was grieved, but he could not take
Action against his favorite son,
“Forgive and forget” “what’s done is done”
What’s wrong with you that you can’t move on?
Don’t take it to heart, dear one
This family used to be so close,
We want you here, and we want your mouth closed
They say they want reconcile,
Want me to entertain for a while
The idea of putting it all in the past
As though these things never had any impact
They wanna sit down and “hear both sides”
They wanna make sure I’m remmebering it right
We need to guarantee that this won’t divide
We have to make sure we’re hearing the rapist’s side
