Can you keep a secret?
Promise me you'll take it to the grave.
I did it.
I enjoyed it.
And I will enjoy this.

Can you keep a secret?
I know what the inside of a man looks like.
I know what it smells like.
I know what it feels like. 

Can you keep a secret?
The color red is a powerful color.
The scent of fear is euphoric.
The taste of tears is refreshing. 
And now I know why you did it.

Can you keep a sceret?
The ocean has many deep depths.
I'm sure you would like to take a look.
I'll go there just for you.

Can you keep a secret?
The tide is rising.
The waves are crashing.
Or is that your heart beating? 

Can you keep a secret?
You're just like the rest of them. 
They took this to the grave as well.
When you see them tell them I said, "Rot."

Can you keep a secret?
I remember each and every one of you.
You were supposed to protect to me.
I trusted you.
I loved you.

Can you keep a secret?
Promise me you can hold your breath.
I hope the temperature is just right.
Is the water too much?
Soon fire will dry it up.
Dont worry, you'll be fine.
You told me that once upon a time.

Can you keep a secret? 
Promise me we'll never meet again.
I'll tell the world what all of you were.
How miserable you all were to prey on me.
But I prayed for you and here we are.
I did it.
I enjoyed it.
And I'm enjoying this.

Can you keep a secret?
I saved the best for last.
Although I know you love to go first.
The others met their end fast.
But for you, we're doing this nice and slow.

Can you keep a secret?
I know you don't know how to swim.
You always drowned others to stay afloat. 
Was I the only one?
Did you not hear my screams, my pleas?
You must've, because you smiled.
That's okay, I've turned my sorrow into joy.
The strength not found then, is here with me now.

Can you keep a secret?
I did for twelve good years. 
I have nothing left for you to take.
But I'm taking everything from you.
And I'm enjoying seeing your pained tears 
I enjoy seeing you drown in your fear
Your pleas are falling on deaf ears.
I'm the one smiling now.

Can you keep a secret?
You have no choice but to.
You could've taken it to the grave.
But here we are.
Washing everything away.
My secret is safe with you, right?

My secret is safe with you, right?
