used to be clean

now i'm filthy as can be

scrubbing off

every spot

Used to be me

Now I'm good as can be ~

Raise Me Up

I'm Your Slut

May the God of Me protect My Soul ~

as i stay a little while longer

in this dusty rabbit hole

to sing my song chained onto your bed

May The God of Me Protect My Soul

as i stay a little while longer

in this dusty rabbit hole

to sing my song chained onto your bed

(((( )))))

Used to be told

My silence is gold ~

coughing up

every drop

Used to Be Smart

Now I'm Granting You Art

stepping up

i'm your slut

8*8

May The God of Me Protect My Soul

as i stay a little while longer

in this dusty rabbit hole

to sing my song chained onto your bed

May the God of Me protect My Soul ~

as i stay a little while longer

in this dusty rabbit hole

to sing my song chained onto your bed

((( o )))

used to be clean

now i'm filthy as can be \ /
