I'm this man, next to that crime connoisseur I've been a cheat, I've been a lie, call me names, For, my thief operates phases, via a face, for all Nail me to my cross, I'm set to take my blames. Again, my love, Let me bring from mile, your smile. If it's worth sinned, it's worth punished, really But remember, heavens dance over a sole rebirth, Here is my hands, sustain it, lest it get weary That later, I might use to cuddle you, like a belt.
