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.
