Lyrics for Reptile

She spreads herself wide open To let the insects in She leaves a trail of honey To show me where she's been She has the blood of reptile Just underneath her skin Seeds from a thousand others Drip down from within Oh my beautiful liar Oh my precious whore My disease my infection I am so impure oh Devils speak of The way in which she'll manifest Angels bleed from The tainted touch of my caress Need to contaminate To alleviate this loneliness I now know The depths I reach are limitless Oh my beautiful liar Oh my precious whore My disease my infection I am so impure oh Oh my beautiful liar Oh my precious whore My disease my infection I am so impure Oh my beautiful liar Oh my precious whore My disease my infection I am so impure
