Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
i am so impure
oh
give it
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
i am so impure
oh
oh
[Chorus]
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
i am so impure
[Chorus]
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
i am so impure
