Rebel Is My Safe Word

Rebel is my safe word 
I’m about to turn red;
Something’s awakening;
Since you touched me like that
my pulse has been skipping;

Rebel is my safe word;
Put a chain on my neck
tighten your grip on me;
Handle me without care,
now I can never flee;

Rebel is my safe word,
don’t you make me say it;
Get me right to the brink;
Lightning in your fingers,
force me to feel, not think.
