Lyrics

Destro's Secret

[Intro]

And now I'll hang my skin, this skin

Transparent words of sin

My love, so sweet

Your name looks good distorted like that

Scrape off the skin

Revealing crud

[Interlude]

An hour before dawn

I'm walking through the rain

And scratching on her window screen

I've come to cut cupid's heart out

I've come to take your breath away

I've come to cut cupid's heart out

I've come to take your breath away

[Bridge]

Sundripped devil, sundripped devil

Scratched out my eyes, scratched out my eyes

Sundripped devil, sundripped devil

Scratched out my eyes, scratched out my eyes

Sundripped devil, sundripped devil

Scratched out my eyes, scratched out my eyes

[Outro]

Break the door down

Knock the door down

Angel I can't let you in

I can't let you in
