Just One Command

JUST ONE COMMAND - Written by Carroll Bryant

This is my secret

When I look into your eyes I have to look away

There's no telling how far I could fall

There's no telling what I might say

My heart stands before your spirit

I hear the whispers of the night

I try to run while they talk to me

I try to run before I die

In the fight that is your love

Give to me just one command

Let me prove to you my memory

Beg for mercy for this man

You know I want you to hurt me

This I can't deny

My pain seems to bring you pleasure

So tell me one more lie 

More than what it can be measured

This life gives me everything its got

My heart is buried treasure

Really

No

Really not

I listen to the whispers 

I know I've said it all before

I try to run but then I never

Even get to make it to the door

In the fight that is your love

Give to me just one command

Let me prove to you my misery

Beg for mercy for this man

I want you to own me

Like you would a broken toy

Put me on layaway 

Two batteries and enjoy

I swear I never saw you coming

Not even in the nick of time

I didn't want to move a mountain

Or trade a dollar for a dime

In the death of a stranger 

The danger is always lurking in the dark

I have no long lost relations

Only a time bomb for a heart

In the fight that is your love

Give to me just one command

Let me prove to you my machinery 

Beg for mercy for this man

You can be my slave in exchange you take my grave

You take my place

The old switch-a-roo

Tit for tat and me for you

Soon the waters will cover the entire earth

I sure hope you grow some fins

Or learn how to swim

I can breathe underwater

I can do it now because I did it then

In the fight that is your love

Give to me just one command

Let me prove to you my mockery 

Beg for mercy for this man

In the fight that is your freedom

Let me be more than your friend

Now you may beg for my mercy

Or give to me just one command
