Lyrics

I have a secret creature
Burrowed in my head
I have a secret creature
Nestled in our bed
Every little feature
Of this thing inside
Oh, this secret creature
With its lids upon my eyes
Sometimes it makes me want to
Kiss the rain from your cheeks
I don’t even need to rest
I could stay this way for weeks
In the soft paw of night
The creature steals a bite
I have a secret creature
Loyal to a fault
I have a secret creature
Poorly hidden in the vault
I can’t be at leisure
I can’t turn it off
Oh, this secret creature
Holding me aloft
Sometimes it makes me want to
Be the world itself
Encompass every ocean
I desire nothing else
In the barbed arrow of a dream
Creature in the bloodstream
I have a secret creature
With it I am whole
I have a secret creature
And we share this soul
One of us is teacher
The other acolyte
Oh, this secret creature
I read by its light
Sometimes it makes me want to
Drink every last drop
Hands me the rope
And then he pulls it taut
All I am
Will erase
The secret creature
Takes my place
