Teeth on the Switch

Hush—

BITE!

Tongue on the wire, I taste the spark,

Red lights blink in the alley dark,

You lean in close—don’t miss the mark,

I flip the switch, the room goes bark (BARK!)

Hear the floorboards learn my name,

Heat in the air, the air in flame,

Count to three—forget your shame,

I love the pause before the bang

🔥 TEETH ON THE SWITCH, DON’T YOU FLINCH,

LEAN IN—FEEL THE TENSION PINCH,

HEARTBEATS KICK WHEN THE ROOM GOES RICH—

I BITE THE MOMENT, DON’T YOU BLINK!

TEETH ON THE SWITCH, DON’T YOU FLINCH,

RED LIGHTS LAUGH WHEN THE SHADOWS WINCH,

SAY MY NAME IN A CROOKED STITCH—

I BITE THE MOMENT, DON’T YOU BLINK!

Static kisses on porcelain skin,

Laugh like a fuse when the sparks begin,

I don’t need rules to tell me when—

I like the edge where the edge caves in

Step—back—step—forward—

Breathe—hold—then disorder,

I love the hush before the thunder—

Say it twice, the walls fall under

🔥 TEETH ON THE SWITCH, DON’T YOU FLINCH,

LEAN IN—FEEL THE TENSION PINCH,

HEARTBEATS KICK WHEN THE ROOM GOES RICH—

I BITE THE MOMENT, DON’T YOU BLINK!

TEETH ON THE SWITCH, DON’T YOU FLINCH,

RED LIGHTS LAUGH WHEN THE SHADOWS WINCH,

SAY MY NAME IN A CROOKED STITCH—

I BITE THE MOMENT, DON’T YOU BLINK!

Closer—closer—

Now—freeze—

Closer—closer—

NOW—BREATHE!

DON’T!

YOU!

BLINK!

🔥 TEETH ON THE SWITCH, DON’T YOU FLINCH,

LEAN IN—FEEL THE TENSION PINCH,

HEARTBEATS KICK WHEN THE ROOM GOES RICH—

I BITE THE MOMENT, DON’T YOU BLINK!

TEETH ON THE SWITCH, DON’T YOU FLINCH,

SPARKS MAKE POETRY OUT OF SIN,

COUNT TO THREE—LET THE CHAOS WIN—

I BITE THE MOMENT, DON’T YOU BLINK!

Blink.

(Too late.)
