Splitsecond

In the hush before the strike the air is thin
A breath held tight as it begins
A whip's sharp kiss a shiver down the spine
In that splitsecond the world's redefined

Anticipation when the breath is drawn in
A flash of fear where desire begins
The pulse of waiting the tension in the flame
In that fleeting moment nothing stays the same

Splitsecond when the breath is drawn in
A flash of fear where desire begins
The pulse of waiting the tension in the flame
In that fleeting moment nothing stays the same

Molten wax a drop that sears the night
A bead of heat igniting the light
A knot pulled tight a gasp held in suspense
In that splitsecond the body's defense

Splitsecond when the fire meets the skin
A rush of heat where the pleasure begins
The pulse of pain the freedom in the flame
In that fleeting moment nothing stays the same

The zip of leather the click of a clasp
The moment it opens the tightening grasp
Each splitsecond lingers etched in the mind
The echo of a touch the rush we find

Splitsecond when the breath is drawn in
A flash of fear where desire begins
The pulse of waiting the tension in the flame
In that fleeting moment nothing stays the same

Splitsecond when the fire meets the skin
A rush of heat where the pleasure begins
The pulse of pain the freedom in the flame
In that fleeting moment nothing stays the same

In the silence after when the world's gone still
The memory of that splitsecond thrill
The mark of the moment the heat that remains
In every splitsecond we find our chains

In the silence after when the world's gone still
The memory of that splitsecond thrill
The mark of the moment the heat that remains
In every splitsecond we find our chains
