[Verse] Mary had a little shoggoth With eyes black as night It slithers and it wriggles Giving her a wicked fright But she keeps it close She knows she can't shake it loose In this twisted game She's just a pawn for abuse Every night it whispers With voices from the deep Telling her the secrets that mortals cannot keep Its slimy tentacles They tighten 'round her soul Mary's little shoggoth has complete control [Chorus] She walks through the alleys Searching for her own light But the darkness follows It's an eternal fight The shoggoth's grip is tight It won't let her be free In this loveless world She's lost and can't see [Verse 2] Mary had a little shoggoth She conjured one day The spell of sigil broken, Her control went away Now it roams the shadows In the corners of her mind Whispers growing louder As it slowly drives her blind Its slimy tentacles They're wrapped around her heart Mary's little shoggoth Tears her world apart [Chorus] She walks through the alleys Searching for her own light But the darkness follows It's an eternal fight The shoggoth's grip is tight It won't let her be free In this loveless world She's lost and can't see [Bridge] In the depths of her despair She finds a fleeting spark A memory of who she was Before the world went dark But the shoggoth's laughter echoes In the void where hope once lay Mary fights for freedom Yet still, she's led astray [Chorus] She walks through the alleys Searching for her own light But the darkness follows It's an eternal fight The shoggoth's grip is tight It won't let her be free In this loveless world She's lost and can't see [Outro] Mary's little shoggoth A shadow she can't flee In the twisted game of fate She's bound eternally Her cries lost to the night Her soul forever gray In the shoggoth's embrace She slowly fades away
