Filthy Little Secret lyrics

There hides a secret

Deeply twined inside of her mind

A tried and confined egret

That pines to fly south

To this mouth of mine

Pity

Too long have these emotions

Like potions, made me

A sole castellan

Trusted to keep

The weight of oceans

From her rusted gates of sleep

A dreaming angel

Lying curled in the circles of Hell

I must protect her

Watch her back for any cracks to occur

For in the witching hour

She slips into the underworld

A pearled Persephone

Deflowered by the powers

That around her

Drown her

Whirl

Doomed to damn the rift

Across the shifting abyss

With her body and its gift:

My filthy little secret

I serve her slender hope

To preserve mankind from old ghosts

Disturbed though by recurring crimes

I sense that dead

Might be best for both

Pity

Too long have these emotions

Like potions, made me

A sole castellan

Posted to keep

Slow wheels in motion

From the human race to beat

Without her there

My nymphetamine with the faraway stare

Thin walls would crumble

Horrors would corroborate from dog star lairs

For in the dead of the night

She spasms with orgasmic flare

This reamed Demeter

With Poseidons there inside her

Too appeased to grieve our air

Doomed to dam the rift

Across the shifting abyss

With her body and its gift:

My filthy little secret

Forever sworn to keep it

My filthy little secret

Pity

Too long this urchin princess

Has incensed, made me

A wanton felon

Searching for the key

To loose her harness

And set desires lurching free

Without her there

My nymphetamine with the faraway stare

Thin walls would crumble

Horrors would corroborate from dog star lair

But in her room at night

I care not for the underworld

Slathering and gathering emboldened Reichs

To breach, to teach

A dread thereafter

I would risk all this

For one minute of bliss

With her body and its gift:

My filthy little secret

Forever sworn to keep it

My filthy little secret

I know a deeper beauty shines

Beyond the veil

Her roots and creepers mine

As the worms beneath rise
