Handcuffs line my wrists The key dangling so sharp one; just one, I say but my jailer disagrees one more, he taunts you know you want to, he laughs handcuffs line my wrists; stained red never to be broken looking at whats left of my prison my jailer leaves and moves on looking for the next criminal
