If you treat me like a princess, I'll treat you like a prince.
If you treat me like a game, I'll show you how it's played.

Don't pull back the curtain
Don't turn out the light
Don't think of what you hear behind it
Don't put up a fight
Don't remember what happened here
Don't forget a single name
Don't pick up the knife again
Don't try to play that game
Don't tell a soul what you know
Don't keep it to yourself
Don't look around the corner
Don't take it from the shelf
Don't look to sandy beaches
Don't let yourself drift
Don't look around the corner
Don't think this is a gift
Don't think of what you see
Don't see it, it's forbidden
Don't you dare turn around
Don't embrace the hidden

Cool artwork to go with it... I especially like the part about not telling anyone, but not keeping it to yourself... stuck in a catch 22 type thing.
