Lyrics Little Beast - Maria McKee

Little beast don't die
I've held you at my side
For nearly an hour
Where queerly you've held power

It's sweet you are and I've let you
Take me by degrees
So sweet you are that I've let you
Stay and rip at me

Little beast I know
That soon you'll have to go
And save I will, as I grieve
A place for my little beast

Beatified as my muse
As you turn me like a key
I've tried my best not to use you
But you are all I see

I still don't know who you are
Or how you got in
And I may never know
And I really don't need to know

'Cause where I sit with my verse
You are never very far
And when I find all the words
It's because of where you are

Sacred little beast
You've taken leave of me
And I still can see you there
Your eyes shimmering in the air

It's black they are, little beast
Piercing in and clutching still
And I may long to be free
But I've given up my will
