From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin

Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands

The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands
Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands
Eyes lit on sharp threats
From dark lips
The lights press the soft skin
To rough hands
