01 • My Reign

City lights bleeding in the pouring rain Everybody’s running… but you run straight to my chains I see that fire you’re trying so hard to hide One look from me and your body already decides Black latex shining, second skin so tight Steel on your wrists, turning wrong into right When the storm gets heavy and the night feels cold I’ll wrap you up safe in the things you’re told This is my reign, reign, falling down on you My reign, reign, tell me what you’re gonna do Locked in my world where the pleasure meets the pain Body trembling while you’re calling out my name This is my reign, reign, surrender in the night My reign, reign, everything feels so right Collared and shining, owned in glossy black Good… now beg me to never take it back Latex hugging every curve you try to control I decide when you break and I decide when you’re whole Key to your pleasure swinging right here on my chain You can fight it all night… but we both know who’ll give in Puppy, pony, or just my pretty little pet Doesn’t matter baby, you’re mine the second you submit I’ll be your shelter when the whole world crashes down But in my arms you don’t wear the crown Latex and steel, that sweet loss of control This is where you’re safe… this is where you’re whole This is my reign, reign, falling down on you My reign, reign, tell me what you’re gonna do (That’s it… drop a little lower, pet) Collared and shining, lost inside my black My reign, reign… now beg me to never give it back Stay in my reign… Good… Just breathe for me…

02 • 12-Gauge

Load it… Aim it… Pull the trigger. You ready, pet? You thought you could take it, thought you were so damn strong One word from my mouth and the whole act was gone I don’t do gentle, I don’t do sweet I bring the kind of pressure that drops you to your knees Feel the tension rising, barrel getting tight You’re staring straight at me, knowing this ain’t light 12 Gauge!

03 • Obey

Listen… You know what to do. You come in acting like you still run your own life Suit on, tie straight, hiding all that fire inside But the second my heels hit the floor, your whole world shifts One command from my lips and your control starts to slip No negotiations, no maybe, no debate When I speak, your body already knows its fate Obey… Obey… Let it feel good to just obey Obey… Obey… Drop everything and give it all to me today Hands behind your back, eyes on the floor This is what you came here for Obey… Lose yourself in it Obey… You know you love this shit I don’t need ropes to keep you where I want you Just my voice in your ear and the way I taunt you Every “Yes Mistress” tastes sweeter than the last You’re learning real quick how good it feels to be fast No thinking, no fighting, just beautiful release The only rule here is you obey me Obey… Obey… Let it feel good to just obey Obey… Obey… Drop everything and give it all to me today Hands behind your back, eyes on the floor This is what you came here for Obey… Lose yourself in it Obey… You know you love this shit You don’t have to decide anything right now… You don’t have to be strong… You just have to obey me. That’s it… Good. Obey… Obey… Let the whole world disappear when you obey Obey… Obey… Nothing feels better than giving it all away On your knees, heart racing, body on fire This is your truth, this is your desire Obey… Let it take you higher Obey… This is my empire That’s my good pet… Keep obeying.

04 • Not For You

Just one quiet drink… Then he had to open his mouth. He leans in like he’s got something I might need Cheap confidence dripping from the words he speaks Says “You look like you need some company tonight” I take a slow sip and let the silence cut like a knife He doesn’t see the storm behind my eyes Doesn’t know he’s already walking into my skies I’m not for you… not tonight, not ever I don’t do simple, I don’t do whatever You want soft and easy, something light and sweet But I only do deep… I only do complete So take your little lines, take your little game This seat beside me isn’t yours to claim I wear my power like velvet on skin Sorry darling… you could never handle what’s within He laughs and says “You’re feisty, I like that in a girl” I smile slow and deadly, let my voice unfurl “You think this is feisty? Baby this is just the start I like my men on their knees with a hand around their heart” He’s starting to feel the temperature drop Realising this isn’t the game he thought I’m not for you… not tonight, not ever I don’t do simple, I don’t do whatever You want fast and fun, something easy to hold But I only do total… body, mind and soul So keep your little dreams, keep your little lies This Queen doesn’t open up for boys in disguise I wear my power like velvet on skin Sorry darling… you could never handle what’s within Mmm… you really thought you had a chance, didn’t you? How sweet… How naive… You see the gloss, the heels, the way I sit so still But you don’t see the throne I’m sitting on, or the power that I wield You want a little fling, a weekend kind of thrill I want devotion… I want your free will You came for a story you could tell your boys later But I don’t do cameos, I only do creators I break men like you for breakfast, leave ‘em wanting more Have you crawling back begging outside my door So nice try, baby… cute little attempt But this Dominatrix doesn’t do decent or decently spent [Bridge] You came looking for a good time… But what you found tonight Is a whole different world. And you… You’re not ready. I’m not for you… not tonight, not ever I don’t do simple, I don’t do whatever You want weekend pleasure, I want total reign So run along now… before you start to feel the pain I wear my darkness like silk against the bone And baby… you were never meant to sit upon this throne Nice try though… Enjoy the rest of your night. Maybe next time… You’ll know better.

05 • High Maintenance

They call me high maintenance… Good. I never wanted to be average. I don’t do basic, I don’t do cheap or small I want roses by the dozen and your worship when I call Champagne in crystal, diamonds on my skin If you can’t match my standard, baby don’t even begin I need your time, your focus, your total attention This level of luxury demands full devotion High maintenance, that’s who I am Spoil me daily, that’s the only way I can High maintenance, bow down to the queen If you can’t afford forever, then you know what I mean Latex shining, leather so fine Diamonds dripping while you’re losing your mind High maintenance, yeah I wear it well If you can’t keep up… baby go to hell I want my coffee flawless, my boots kissed clean My schedule cleared when I want you on the scene You say I’m expensive? Baby that’s the thrill Cheap love is boring… I only do expensive real I need effort, I need money, I need all of you This kind of goddess don’t come cheap, that’s true High maintenance, that’s who I am Spoil me daily, that’s the only way I can High maintenance, bow down to the queen If you can’t afford forever, then you know what I mean Latex shining, leather so fine Diamonds dripping while you’re losing your mind High maintenance, yeah I wear it well If you can’t keep up…(keep up) baby go to hell You thought you wanted a goddess… Now you’re learning what that really costs. Every penny. Every second. Every single piece of you. Yeah I’m high maintenance, dripping in finesse Got you cashing out just to touch my dress Credit card screaming but you love the pain Emptying your wallet just to scream my name I want the best, I want it all, I want it now On your knees, head bowed, make that money rain down High maintenance, that’s who I am Crown on my head and money in my hand High maintenance, worship like a dream Bow down properly or exit the scene Latex shining, leather so fine This is my world and you’re lucky to be mine High maintenance… say it loud and clear This is my level… and I live it without fear That’s my good boy… Now go make it rain some more.

06 • Addicted

You say you hate it… But you keep coming back for more. You swear you’re done, you swear you’re leaving this time But twenty minutes later you’re back on my line You say it’s toxic, you say it’s too much But your body betrays you with every single touch The more I break you, the more you need The more I take you, the more you bleed… for me Addicted to the pain, pain, pain You keep running back again, again, again Addicted to the way I make you beg and scream You say you hate it… but you love what I do to you, baby Addicted, addicted, can’t break the chain You’re lost in the rush, you’re lost in the pain High heels, red lips, leather so tight Addicted to the pain every single night You try to fight it, try to act like you’re fine But one “Good boy” from me and you’re back in line I pull your leash, I watch you fall apart You say you’re leaving… but you never get far The sting feels like heaven, the hurt feels like home You’re not leaving, baby… you’re never alone Addicted to the pain, pain, pain You keep running back again, again, again Addicted to the way I make you beg and scream You say you hate it… but you love what I do to you, baby Addicted, addicted, can’t break the chain You’re lost in the rush, you’re lost in the pain High heels, red lips, leather so tight Addicted to the pain every single night Go on… tell me you’re done. Tell me you’re leaving. I’ll wait… We both know you’ll be back on your knees by morning. Yeah you’re addicted, love the way it hurts Love when I pull your hair and make it worse Love when I laugh while you beg and cry Love being mine till the day you die Can’t quit me, can’t fight me, can’t even try Once you taste this pain… you’re mine for life Addicted to the pain, pain, pain You’ll never ever break away Addicted to the way I ruin you slow This is the only high you’ll ever know Addicted, addicted, down on your knees Addicted to the pain and you’re addicted to me That’s it… Come back for another hit.

07 • Heavy Is The Hand

The candles burned out hours ago… And you’re still sleeping so peacefully. The candles burned down to the glass an hour ago I’m watching your chest rise, breathing soft and slow The latex is folded on the chair like a second skin I shed The silence in this room is louder than anything we said I trace the marks where my collar rested on your neck A map of everything I gave and everything I took But why does victory feel so hollow in my chest? Why does this power leave me feeling like a mess? I hold the key… I hold the light… But I’m the one still awake tonight… Heavy is the hand that holds the leash Heavy is the heart that has to be the strong one when you break You get to fall apart, you get to scream my name But I have to be the one who never shows the pain I’m your saviour, I’m your sin, I’m the heaven that you crave But who carries the goddess when the goddess needs to be saved? It’s a long way down from the pedestal you made for me Heavy is the hand… that sets you free. You think it’s just power, you think it’s only steel You don’t see the weight behind everything I feel I curate your darkness, I swallow all your fear I’m the only one allowed to watch you disappear But who holds me when the lights go black? Who pulls me up when I can’t find my way back? I drown in the worship you pour at my feet While the whole world thinks I’m iron — cold and complete. Heavy is the hand that holds the leash Heavy is the heart that has to be the strong one when you break You get to fall apart, you get to scream my name But I have to be the one who never shows the pain I’m your saviour, I’m your sin, I’m the heaven that you crave But who carries the goddess when the goddess needs to be saved? It’s a long way down from the pedestal you made for me Heavy is the hand… that sets you free. Yeah… That’s just how it feels… Don’t look at me like I’m unbreakable… I’m bleeding underneath this crown! I’m screaming where no one can hear! You surrender your will… But I surrender my soul just to keep you here! To keep you safe… to keep you near… Mmm… Come here… Just stay with me a little longer… Heavy is the hand that holds the leash Heavy is the heart that has to carry everything You get to break… you get to fall… you get to fly so high But I stay steady… so you can fall apart and cry I’m your anchor, I’m your storm, I’m your only truth And I will carry this weight… even if it breaks me too Stay asleep… Just a little longer. Don’t wake up yet. Let me be weak… While you’re still on the floor. Heavy is the hand… Good pet… I’ve got you.

08 • Larry, Larry

What, me? What do I do? Well… it’s a lot of management, honestly. High-pressure environments. Strict deadlines. Wait, Larry, you think I’m in HR? That’s adorable. Met a guy named Larry at a corporate mixer He said, "I hear you’re a problem fixer!" Suit all pressed, but his tie’s already loose Eyes flicking down like he knows he’s got no use Talking KPIs like it’s gonna impress But I’m already picturing him in a mess Gripes with the board? Yeah, I’ve been there too! It’s so hard to find staff who will follow through! He’s talking performance reviews, reviews! I’m talking collars and leashes, please! He’s all synergies, quarterly goals I’m putting him in chastity, losing control! Larry, Larry, what you gonna do? When the boss lady decides to own you! He’s droning on about his five-year plan I just smile slow, spinning the stem of my glass in my hand “Larry, darling, you seem tense… why don’t you loosen up?” He laughs nervous, doesn’t know I’m already sizing him up Says he’s “results-driven,” thinks he’s so slick Baby, the only result I want is you learning to lick So, Larry… what about you? Oh, I’m a consultant for a firm in the city. We focus on bottom-up restructuring. Bottom-up? Larry, you’re hired. Wait, what? Is there an application? [Female Spoken - Firm, amused Birmingham] No, but there is a waiver. And a very, very short leash. [Chorus] He’s talking performance reviews, reviews! I’m talking collars and leashes, please! He’s all synergies, quarterly goals I’m putting him in chastity, losing control! Larry, Larry, what you gonna do? When the boss lady decides to own you! Now Larry’s sweating, tie coming undone Talking verticals like he’s the chosen one I just lean in close with a wicked grin Whisper “good boy” and watch him spin He’s all boardroom, KPI, synergy chat I’m already planning to keep him like that — on a leash, on his knees, where he belongs at! He’s talking performance reviews, reviews! But now he’s learning the only review that counts Is how long he can hold his breath in my latex While I tug that leash and watch his eyes roll back He’s talking verticals… I’m making him horizontal Good boys don’t speak, they just stay on all fours, baby! Yeah, keep talking about your verticals, Larry… Good boy.

09 • The Safety

It isn’t just the steel, is it? It’s knowing... Exactly when to let it go. The city hums against the glass I watch the heavy minutes pass Your breath is shallow, thick and fast You wonder if the spell will last. I see the truth inside your eyes The place where all the talking dies You’re waiting for the world to fall But I am standing guard of all. I hold the fire, I hold the flame The only one who knows your name Before the dark, before the light I’m keeping you inside the night. [Orchestral swell - Deep and rich] I am the Safety... I am the catch The only hand that’s built to match You lean into the bitter edge I hold you steady on the ledge. The iron’s heavy, but I’m strong I’ve held the hammer for so long Before the shot, before the plea You’re only safe... when you’re with me. They see the crown, they see the throne They don’t see me here, all alone I carry secrets, heavy led I’m keeping every word you said. You give me will, you give me breath This quiet dance of life and death I click the latch, I set the stage But I’m the one inside the cage. DON'T YOU FUCKING KNOW! I am the wall! I am the fire! The limit of your heart’s desire! The drop is long! The price is high! But I’m the one who’s standing by! I am the Safety... I am the catch The only hand that’s built to match You lean into the bitter edge I hold you steady on the ledge. The iron’s heavy, but I’m strong I’ve held the hammer for so long Before the shot, before the plea You’re only safe... when you’re with me. There now... The safety's on. Rest your head, mate. I’ve got you. I’ve always got you.

10 • Shotgun

Back it up, put it in park, watch me light up the dark I’m the trigger, I’m the powder, I’m the bite and the bark Got you lined up in the sights, yeah, I’m taking my time Breaking your spirit is my favorite crime. Leather on the seat, steel in my hand I don’t follow rules, I just give the command One pump, two pump, feeling the heat? I’m the only reason that your heart skips a beat. Spread 'em out, lean back, let the pressure set in You’re addicted to the metal and the taste of the sin I’m the barrel in your mouth, I’m the kick against your chest I don’t stop till I’ve put the whole world to rest. I'm the Shotgun! I’m the one who locks it in I'm the Shotgun! Watch the damage sinking in One blast for the ego, one blast for the pride There’s nowhere left for a boy like you to hide I’m loaded, I’m ready, I’m aiming at the sun You’re just a target... and I’m the Shotgun. Listen... You showed up with a sawed-off, thinking you were tough But a short-barrel ego just ain't enough You’re messy and you’re loud, yeah, you’re sprayin’ it wide But I’m a Full Choke Queen, nowhere to hide I wanted distance, I wanted the long-range thrill But you’re a point-blank bore with a lack of skill You cut your power down just to fit in the room? Baby, I’m the thunder and I’m the sonic boom. I’m a 12 Gauge Goddess, custom-built for the pain You’re a small-gauge toy, crying in the rain Keep your little kickback, keep your little spark 'Cause I’m the only one who ever hits the mark. "Now... close your eyes. Feel the weight of the steel against your skin. I decide where the led hits. I decide when the smoke clears. ...A sawed-off, mate? (Low, mocking laugh) It’s a bit... stunted, isn't it? Just like your ambition. Stay down. Check the grouping... yeah, it’s tight. I’m the one who owns the night. Full metal jacket on the floor I’m the lock upon the door. Zeroed in, I’ve got the range Nothing here is gonna change. One last breath before the blast I’m the first and I’m the last. I'm the Shotgun! I’m the one who locks it in I'm the Shotgun! Watch the damage sinking in One blast for the ego, one blast for the pride There’s nowhere left for a boy like you to hide I’m loaded, I’m ready, I’m aiming at the sun You’re just a target... and I’m the Shotgun. "Yeah... just keep breathing it in. The smoke suits you, mate. Clean it up when I’m gone. 12 Gauge... Session over. Stay on the floor."
