Sweetheart - Oxbow

Crawling in cruelty

I take my delight

In perpetuity

And lick my lips

Red and raw

When you say

As you want to say to me

Mercy

I’ll make sure

You get as much

As I got

In deep shade blue

Your fright

Drives a sense of longing

Through me

That is hard to explain

And I cinch until you dream

And I wake you screaming

And everything is never all right

And night lasts until I sleep

Wish your eyes not on me

Thinking kill him or flee

Kill him or flee

But you do neither

In the ether

Of your desire

And I sling the switch

Until my arm gets tired

And you cry that you love me

Like God

And like God

I say whatever it is

You want to hear

Whatever it is

That brought you here

Nearer to me

Right next to me
