01 • Fivefold

Just stay there. Don’t move. I want to feel the air change in the room before I touch you. You’ve been running for so long, haven't you? Well... the road ends here. Right here at my feet. That's it. You're alright. The city's humming like a broken wire Outside the window, neon and the mire But in this circle, time has lost its grip I see the word you’re holding on your lip You’ve wandered far, you’ve carried every load But every turn has led you down this road Through rain-slick streets and empty-handed nights Till you ended up beneath my lights First for the feet, that brought you to my side Then for the knees, where all your secrets hide I’m pulling back the curtain, let the light bleed through There’s no one in this world tonight but me and you I’ll take you down, fold by heavy fold A story of fire, written in the cold I’m the hand that holds the lightning, the one who holds the key You’ll find your only freedom when you’re looking up at me It’s a sacred kind of hunger, a power to behold I’m gonna bless you... Fivefold I see the tremble in the way you stand Like a colt that's never felt a steady hand You came here thinking you could keep your name But names dissolve in this particular flame I trace the line where your pulse starts to race Feel the heat rising up to meet my face You thought you'd bargain, thought you'd set the terms But every bargain breaks on what the dark confirms Third for the wrists that reach without a sound Fourth for the throat that's learning to be bound Fifth for the heart that finally understands The only way to fly is with your feet off the land I’ll take you down, fold by heavy fold A story of fire, written in the cold I’m the hand that holds the lightning, the one who holds the key You’ll find your only freedom when you’re looking up at me It’s a sacred kind of hunger, a power to behold I’m gonna bless you... Fivefold And when the room is empty, when the echoes fade I stand here holding shadows that you made The city's still out there, still humming its song But I can't hear it over what we did wrong Or right. Or whatever this is between us now Fivefold the silence, fivefold the vow I gave you the dark so you could finally see But I’m the one who’s still learning how to be free I thought the power lived in what I take Thought the throne would keep the loneliness at bay But every time I lock you in, I feel the key turn twice Once on you... once on me Fivefold the weight of what I can't release Fivefold the woman who still wants to kneel Fivefold the quiet where the truth is real I’m not just blessing you, love... I’m blessing what’s left of me I’ll take you down, fold by heavy fold A story of fire, written in the cold I’m the hand that holds the lightning, the one who holds the key You’ll find your only freedom when you’re looking up at me It’s a sacred kind of hunger, a power to behold I’m gonna bless you... Fivefold I’m gonna bless you... Fivefold Fivefold... That's us, love. Fivefold.

02 • D-V-ant

De vi ant De vi ant [Verse 1 – sharp rap flow, Brummie edge] I step through the strobe like the light belongs to me Every shadow bends when it feels my energy You stand there pretending your heart isn't racing But I see the way your shoulders drop the moment I’m facing You built walls of control, brick by careful brick Yet one look from me and the whole thing starts to crack You chase the illusion that you're still in charge But deep down you know you're already on the march Towards the edge where freedom looks like chains Where losing yourself is the only way to gain This isn't a game we play for the thrill alone This is the place where the masks turn to stone You hand me your will like a key you can't keep And I turn it slow so you feel every creep Of the truth sinking in You were always meant to begin Here D-V-Ant I'm the mirror you can't turn away from D-V-Ant Every lock I close sets your real self free D-V-Ant You beg for the hood so the world disappears So you can finally hear what your soul needs to hear D-V-Ant De vi ant Not a word, it's the shape of our becoming D-V-Ant Bow break become Steel on your wrists isn't punishment, love It's permission to stop being enough You carry the noise of the day like a blade in your chest I take it off you, let the real you confess Breath held long in the mask's cold embrace Panic rises then fades into grace In the silence where judgment can't reach Surrender isn't weakness, it's the truth we teach To each other in the dark Where power isn't taken It's given with heart I’m not your captor, I’m your release The hand that holds you when the fighting cease You give me the reins, I give you the fall And in that quiet we both hear the call To be more than the roles we wear outside De vi ant Where the real ones hide D-V-Ant I'm the mirror you can't turn away from D-V-Ant Every lock I close sets your real self free D-V-Ant You beg for the hood so the world disappears So you can finally hear what your soul needs to hear D-V-Ant De vi ant Not a word, it's the shape of our becoming D-V-Ant Bow break become Look at me pet Not the latex not the steel Look at the woman who knows how you feel No shame in the tremble no sin in the need You’re deviant because you dared to bleed Your truth on my floor your will in my hand And I’ll keep it safe while I make you understand That power isn’t taken It’s given And tonight You’re finally living D-V-Ant I'm the mirror look hard don't flinch D-V-Ant Every mark I leave is proof you're inch by inch More yourself than you've ever been D-V-Ant De vi ant Scream it with me let the empire win D-V-Ant Bow break become begin De vi ant That's us love That's us [repeat chrous to fade]

03 • Breathe For Me

In... out... That's it, pet. Follow my rhythm now. You walked in thinking you could keep your secrets close But I saw the way your chest rose when the door closed Lips parted just enough to let the lie slip through You say you're fine, but your body tells the truth I step closer, latex whispering against the air You flinch, then lean—already halfway there One finger under your chin, tilt your head back slow Feel the room shrink till there's nowhere left to go I don't need chains to make you stay Just my voice, my will, my say Count with me, love—one... two... Hold it longer, let it bruise Breathe for me, slow and deep Let me steal the air you keep Every gasp is mine to take Every tremble, every shake Breathe for me, don't you dare let go Till I say when, till I say no You're mine in the silence between Breathe for me... Breathe for me The hood slips down, seals the world away Rubber cool against your skin, turning night to day You panic for a second—good, that's how it starts Then the fear melts into something sharper in your heart I watch your chest rise, fall, rise again Count the seconds till you break, till you bend You tap once, twice, but I know you won't safe-word out Not when surrender tastes this sweet, this devout I could let you go, let you fill your lungs But where's the fun in that when the real game's just begun? Three... four... five... feel it burn Six... seven... eight... now you learn Breathe for me, slow and deep Let me steal the air you keep Every gasp is mine to take Every tremble, every shake Breathe for me, don't you dare let go Till I say when, till I say no You're mine in the silence between Breathe for me... Breathe for me You think this is about the air I take But it's about the space I make Inside your head, inside your chest Where the only thing that matters is my yes I give it back when you've earned the right One long breath... in the dead of night And when you finally exhale my name You'll know why they all come back again Breathe for me, give it all away Breathe for me, till the night turns day Every inch of you is mine to own Every breath you take is never alone Breathe for me, don't you dare release Till I'm satisfied, till I'm at peace You're mine in the silence between Breathe for me... Breathe for me That's it, love... In... Out... Good pet.

04 • Unmasked

[Intro – low synth drone, distant filtered exhale, soft layered whispers in your Brummie warmth] No more hiding... No more pretending... Unmasked... Just us now. Unmasked They handed you a smile and a script to follow Told you the hunger was something to swallow Keep the leather folded, keep the steel out of sight Play the part sweetly from morning till night But I saw the crack when the strobe caught your face The way your shoulders dropped, the way you found your place One step past the velvet rope, one breath past the lie And the woman underneath finally opened her eyes No more shrinking to fit their frame No more whispering your own name You’re not too much, you’re not too strange You’re simply you... and that’s the change Unmasked, unmasked, let it fall Unmasked, unmasked, feel it all You’re not broken, you’re not wrong You’re simply you—sing it strong Unmasked, unmasked, no more shame Unmasked, unmasked, claim your name Every kink a truth, every scar a crown Unmasked... rise up now I watched you hesitate at the dungeon door Thought the dark would judge what you kept inside more But the room doesn’t care how you kneel or command It just opens wide and lets the real you stand You took the hood, you took the breath I gave And gave it back deeper, a vow we both crave The switch in your spine, the fire in your chest Finally free to be both, to be the best They can keep their daylight, their clean little lies We’ll take the shadows where the honest ones rise You’re not deviant, you’re not a misfit You’re simply you... and that’s the gift Unmasked, unmasked, let it fall Unmasked, unmasked, feel it all You’re not broken, you’re not wrong You’re simply you—sing it strong Unmasked, unmasked, no more shame Unmasked, unmasked, claim your name Every kink a truth, every scar a crown Unmasked... rise up now I used to think the dark was where I hid Where the want lived quiet, where the shame was hid But you looked at me once, saw the switch in my eyes And said “darling, the dark isn’t where we die... It’s where we’re born.” So drop the mask, love Let the real you breathe No more hiding No more leave You’re simply you And that’s enough for me Unmasked, unmasked, let it fall Unmasked, unmasked, feel it all You’re not broken, you’re not wrong You’re simply you—sing it strong Unmasked, unmasked, no more shame Unmasked, unmasked, claim your name Every kink a truth, every scar a crown Unmasked... Rise up now Rise up now Rise Unmasked... You’re simply you, love. Rise.

05 • Play With Fire

[Intro – shimmering synth riser, crackling fire SFX, your Brummie whisper with a wicked, breathless laugh] Come closer, moth... The flame looks so pretty tonight. You know it’s gonna burn. You know you want it to. You’ve been circling for weeks, wings trembling in the glow Vanilla mask still clinging, but it’s starting to show Cracks in the porcelain, heat in your stare One more loop around me and you’re already there I don’t blow out candles, pet—I light them higher You flutter closer, drawn to the fire Leather on my skin, steel in my grin You say you’re just looking... but you’re already in No more pretending the burn isn’t sweet No more hiding the way your pulse skips a beat You’re not too much, you’re not too strange You’re simply you... and that’s the change Play with fire, play with fire Let it burn brighter, take it higher We’re simply us—kinky, wild, true Play with fire, watch me burn for you Play with fire, feel the heat ignite Shed the mask, embrace the night Every kink a spark, every scar a flame Play with fire... we own the game Play with fire! Wings catch the glow, edges start to curl You dive in deeper, let the whole world whirl Hood slips down, breath catches tight But the burn feels like freedom tonight I hold the match, you hold the gaze Switch or sub or queen in the blaze No shame in the shine, no guilt in the glow We’re the moths who learned to steal the show They can keep their daylight, their clean little cage We’ll take the darkness where the real ones rage You’re not deviant, you’re not a misfit You’re simply you... and that’s the hit Play with fire, play with fire Let it burn brighter, take it higher We’re simply us—kinky, wild, true Play with fire, watch me burn for you Play with fire, feel the heat ignite Shed the mask, embrace the night Every kink a spark, every scar a flame Play with fire... we own the game Play with fire! I used to think the dark was where we broke Where the want lived quiet, where the shame was cloaked But you looked at me once, saw the switch in my eyes And said “darling, the fire isn’t where we die... It’s where we fly.” So spread your wings, love Let the flame catch your grin No more hiding No more sin You’re simply you And that’s the win Play with fire, play with fire Let it burn brighter, take it higher We’re simply us—kinky, proud, alive Play with fire, watch the dark thrive Play with fire, feel the pulse ignite Shed the mask, embrace the night Every kink a crown, every scar a spark Play with fire... We light up the dark We light up the dark We burn Play with fire, love... You’re simply you. And you burn so fucking pretty.

06 • Edge of Me

Stay right there, love... Don't you dare tip over yet. We're just getting to the edge... You keep saying you're fine, keep playing it cool But your pulse is racing when I walk in the room Lipstick on the glass, heels on the floor One little look and you're begging for more I circle slow, let the tension climb You bite your lip, trying to buy some time But I know that look, pet—I know that ache You're already shaking for the take No rush tonight, no need to break I'll keep you right here on the razor’s edge One breath away from the sweetest fall You want it bad... but you can't have it all Edge of me, edge of me Keep you right there where I want you to be Tease and deny, make you beg on your knees Edge of me, edge of me Feel the fire but don't you dare release You're mine in the tremble, mine in the plea Edge of me... edge of me Stay on the edge for me Collar clicks soft like a secret we share Your safe word's cute, but we both know you won't dare I trace the line where your control starts to fray One little touch and you're giving it away You think you're strong, think you're still in the game But every "please" is just calling my name I hold the key, I hold the chain You love the burn... you love the pain No mercy tonight, no quick little end I'll keep you hovering, make you bend One more second, one more plea You're right on the edge... and it's all for me Edge of me, edge of me Keep you right there where I want you to be Tease and deny, make you beg on your knees Edge of me, edge of me Feel the fire but don't you dare release You're mine in the tremble, mine in the plea Edge of me... edge of me Stay on the edge for me I could let you tip... let you crash... let you break But where's the fun in that when the tease is so sweet to take? You look so pretty when you're trembling there Wings spread wide, caught in my stare One word from me and you fall Or one word from me and you crawl Either way, love... you're mine tonight On the edge of me... right on the knife Edge of me, edge of me Keep you right there where I want you to be Tease and deny, make you beg on your knees Edge of me, edge of me Feel the fire but don't you dare release You're mine in the tremble, mine in the plea Edge of me... edge of me Stay... stay... stay on the edge for me Edge of me, love... Don't you dare fall yet. We're just getting started.

07 • Collar My Heart

Put it on me, love... Not the collar. The heart. You knelt first, eyes wide, collar cold on your throat Thought you were the only one giving up hope But when I snapped it shut, something in me cracked The queen who commands... suddenly wanted to be tracked Your fingers trembled when you reached for the lock One click and my pulse skipped, my walls in shock I thought I owned you, thought I held the chain But you wrapped it round my heart... and now I'm the one in pain No more games tonight, no more pretty lies Just you and me under these midnight skies I collar your body... you collar my soul And suddenly the throne doesn't feel so cold Collar my heart, collar my heart Lock it forever, tear it apart You’re mine in the dark, I’m yours in the flame Collar my heart... whisper my name Collar my heart, collar my heart Every beat belongs where you are No safe word, no key, no escape from the start Collar my heart... collar my heart I still hold the crop, still make you kneel low Still count your breaths, still make the welts glow But when the scene ends and the candles burn out You pull me close... and I start to doubt Who owns who in this beautiful mess Who’s the prisoner, who’s the caress I thought I was the queen, thought I ruled the night But your collar on my heart feels so fucking right No more pretending, no more polite games We’re both collared now, both screaming names You’re not just mine... I’m yours to claim In this empire of us... we share the flame Collar my heart, collar my heart Lock it forever, tear it apart You’re mine in the dark, I’m yours in the flame Collar my heart... whisper my name Collar my heart, collar my heart Every beat belongs where you are No safe word, no key, no escape from the start Collar my heart... collar my heart I used to think love was a leash I could pull A throne I could sit on, a heart I could rule But you looked at me once, saw the switch in my soul And said “darling, the collar isn’t just control... It’s home.” So put it on me, love Let the lock click tight No more hiding No more fight I’m simply yours And that’s the light Collar my heart, collar my heart Lock it forever, tear it apart You’re mine in the dark, I’m yours in the flame Collar my heart... whisper my name Collar my heart, collar my heart Every beat belongs where you are No safe word, no key, no escape from the start Collar my heart... collar my heart Collar my heart, love... Forever yours. Forever mine.

08 • Ruin You Slow

Lights up. Heels down. Beg. Now. You walked in thinking you could play it cool Thought you'd keep that pride, keep breaking every rule But one look from me and the posture starts to crack Your little tough act... it ain't coming back I don't need to raise my voice to make you fold Just tilt my head, watch your story get told You're already aching, already on the edge One little "please" and you're my new pledge No quick fix tonight, no mercy in sight I'll keep you hanging till you're begging right You’re not too proud, you’re not too strong You’re simply mine... and you've known it all along Ruin you slow, ruin you slow Make you beg loud, make the whole world know I'm the queen on the throne, you're down on the floor Ruin you slow... beg me for more Ruin you slow, ruin you slow Tease till you break, watch your control go Every "please Mistress" is music to my crown Ruin you slow... bow the fuck down Ruin you... ruin you... ruin you slow! You thought you'd last longer, thought you'd hold the line But I know your limit, baby... and it's mine Collar clicks shut, breath catches tight I count to ten and you lose the fight One little denial and you're dripping for me One whispered "not yet" and you're down on your knees I ruin you slow, make it last all night Because the best toys break when they put up a fight No safe word tonight, no need for the call You already know I'll ruin you all Ruin you slow... let the empire shake Ruin you slow... for heaven’s sake Ruin you slow, ruin you slow Make you beg loud, make the whole world know I'm the queen on the throne, you're down on the floor Ruin you slow... beg me for more Ruin you slow, ruin you slow Tease till you break, watch your control go Every "please Mistress" is music to my crown Ruin you slow... bow the fuck down Ruin you... ruin you... ruin you slow! I could snap my fingers and make you crash fast But where’s the fun when the tease is so vast? You look so pretty when you're trembling there Eyes locked on mine, caught in my glare One word from me and you fall One word from me and you crawl Either way, pet... you're mine tonight Ruin you slow... under my light Ruin you slow, ruin you slow Make you beg loud, make the whole world know I'm the queen on the throne, you're down on the floor Ruin you slow... beg me for more Ruin you slow, ruin you slow Tease till you break, watch your control go Every "please Mistress" is music to my crown Ruin you slow... bow the fuck down Ruin you... ruin you... ruin you slow! Ruin you slow, pet... And you'll thank me when you're broken. Goodnight, love. Bow.

09 • Safe Word Never

No word tonight, pet... I already know where you break. And you know I won’t let you fall. We’ve danced on this edge for so many nights Teased the line where trust meets the heights You’ve begged, I’ve begged, we’ve both screamed the name But the safe word just sits there... gathering shame Not because we’re reckless, not because we’re wild But because I know your body like my own child Every tremble, every hitch in your breath I know when to push... I know when to rest No need for the signal when the promise runs deep No need for the word when the silence we keep You’re safe in my hands, I’m safe in your plea Safe word never... just you and me Safe word never, safe word never I know your limit, you know mine forever We’re simply us—raw, real, complete Safe word never... in this heat Safe word never, safe word never No need to speak when the trust is clever Every breath a vow, every pause a prayer Safe word never... we’re already there I still hold the crop, still make you kneel low Still count your breaths, still make the welts glow But when the scene ends and the candles burn out You crawl to my feet... and I have no doubt Who owns who in this beautiful mess Who’s the prisoner, who’s the caress I thought I ruled you, thought I held the chain But you wrapped it round my heart... and now I’m the one in pain No more barriers, no more polite games Just you and me under these midnight flames You’re not too much, you’re not too strange You’re simply us... and that’s the change Safe word never, safe word never I know your limit, you know mine forever We’re simply us—raw, real, complete Safe word never... in this heat Safe word never, safe word never No need to speak when the trust is clever Every breath a vow, every pause a prayer Safe word never... we’re already there I used to think the word was my shield, my line The thing that kept the dark from crossing the sign But you looked at me once, saw the hunger in my soul And said “darling, the word isn’t what makes us whole... It’s trust.” So no more word tonight Let the silence sing No more hiding No more sting We’re simply us And that’s everything Safe word never, safe word never I know your limit, you know mine forever We’re simply us—raw, real, complete Safe word never... in this heat Safe word never, safe word never No need to speak when the trust is clever Every breath a vow, every pause a prayer Safe word never... we’re already there Safe word never... we’re already there Safe word never, love... Because with you... I’m already home.

10 • Empire Of Us

Are you ready? Empire of us... Let’s burn this place down! We used to hide in shadows, kept our secrets locked tight Smiled for the cameras, played the part all night But the dungeon doors blew open, the strobe lit our skin And every misfit stepped forward... let the reign begin No more fake smiles, no more polite little lies We’re the ones who turn the volume to the skies Leather gleaming, chains catching light We’re owning the night... and it feels so right No more locked doors, no more whispered shame We’re the party they tried to tame You’re not too much, you’re not too loud You’re simply us... and we’re so proud Empire of us! Empire of us! We’re taking the floor, making all the fuss Every kink a beat, every scar a light Empire of us — we dance all night! Empire of us! Empire of us! No more masks, no more hush We’re the misfits who learned to play Empire of us — every single day! I see you moving, collar glinting under the strobe You used to hide it, now you let it show Switch or sub or queen on the throne Doesn’t matter tonight — we’re finally home The safe haven’s not a secret anymore It’s the whole damn club begging for more Heels hit the floor, bass hits your chest We’re living the life we were born to possess No more daylight cages, no more polite chains We’re the ones who dance through the pouring rain You’re not deviant, you’re not a misfit You’re simply us... and that’s the hit Empire of us! Empire of us! We’re taking the floor, making all the fuss Every kink a beat, every scar a light Empire of us — we dance all night! Empire of us! Empire of us! No more masks, no more hush We’re the misfits who learned to play Empire of us — every single day! I used to think the dark was where we hid Where the want lived quiet, where the shame was hid But you looked at me once, saw the fire in my eyes And said “darling, the empire isn’t where we die... It’s where we party.” So raise your hands, love Let the bass carry your name No more hiding No more shame We’re simply us And we own the flame Empire of us! Empire of us! We’re taking the floor, making all the fuss Every kink a beat, every scar a light Empire of us — we dance all night! Empire of us! Empire of us! No more masks, no more hush We’re the misfits who learned to play Empire of us — every single day! Empire of us... every single day! Empire... of... us! Empire of us, love... We’re simply us.
