Tickle Torture

Gargalophilia (tickling) — playful power + sensory overload, 'mercy or more?'.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Ten little threats in the open air
I see them coming, I don't even care

[Verse 1]
Just a light touch, tracing a line
Blurring the edges between yours and mine
A feather-soft question along my side
There's absolutely nowhere I can hide

[Chorus]
This is tickle torture, I can't breathe
Wearing my surrender on my sleeve
Every gasp is begging you to please
Is it mercy or more I'm asking for on the floor?

[Verse 2]
My conversation's tangled in a knot
Forgetting every single thing I thought
Since 1897, they've tried to name this game
But a dusty textbook doesn't feel the same

[Chorus]
This is tickle torture, I can't breathe
Wearing my surrender on my sleeve
Every gasp is begging you to please
Is it mercy or more I'm asking for on the floor?

[Bridge]
There's a signal in my spine
That short-circuits the design
Right when the laughter starts to sting
I still want the chaos that you bring

[Chorus]
This is tickle torture, I can't breathe
Wearing my surrender on my sleeve
Every gasp is begging you to please
Is it mercy or more I'm asking for on the floor?

[Outro]
Don't stop... no wait, please stop
...Or maybe don't.
Just... more.
