you see, you've got me on my knees
but you know i'll never plead
unless you promise when you end it
that you'll make it short and sweet

you've got that look in your eyes
that i'll always recognize
like the harsh glint of a razor
or the gleaming edge of your knife

i can't pretend not to feel
the brush of cold, sharpened steel
or the sting of your blade at my throat
lord knows that this is real
