Dead Secrets

Dead Secrets

Did you see that scene 
The sheer curtains blowing in 
The little girl sitting on the bed
Country music playing 
Her destruction 
I felt her pain like a razor
The devil was close, so I ran
And he followed 
Came through the light with a stream of blue fire
Into her mind
I unleashed the beast
The man with the razor lunged with his vengeance 
I knew the little girls secret
And the deed he had done
He left black charring on the light
The dead flies disappeared 
Her memories were his porthole 
He's dead now
As are the little girls memories and soul
