mezzaNINE

Level Nine. Going up. Stay behind the yellow line, pet. Doors closing... Platinum ceilings, floor made of glass I’m watching the minutes and the seconds pass You’re down in the lobby, checking your phone I’m up in the air, executive zone I don’t do the ground floor, I don’t do the street I like the view where the two levels meet High-fashion pressure, velvet and gold I’m the only story that hasn’t been told Can you feel the lift? (ooh) Can you feel the shift? (ooh) The air’s getting thin, the walls are closing in I’m at the railing... let the game begin I’m on the MezzaNINE Looking down on everything I’m on the MezzaNINE You’re the puppet, I’m the string Not quite the roof, not quite the floor I’m the hidden level, I’m the secret door One step left, one step right I own the view, I own the night Mezza-mezza-NINE! (Mezza-mezza-NINE!) You think you’re climbing, think you’re almost there Every rung you grab is just more of my air I’m the architect, I drew every line You’re just decoration in my grand design Champagne in the glass, but the ice is mine One wrong move and the glass tips in time You’re halfway up, halfway blind Welcome to the level only I define Can you feel the lift? (ooh) Can you feel the drop? (ooh) The air’s getting thin, the walls are closing in I’m at the railing... now watch me win I’m on the MezzaNINE Looking down on everything I’m on the MezzaNINE You’re the puppet, I’m the string Not quite the roof, not quite the floor I’m the hidden level, I’m the secret door One step left, one step right I own the view, I own the night Mezza-mezza-NINE! (Mezza-mezza-NINE!) (Mezza-mezza-NINE! Higher... higher...) Yo, lobby boy still waiting for the call I’m already nine floors above it all You thought the elevator had a button for you? Nah, pet, this ride only goes where I move Champagne dripping, heels clicking on glass Every floor I pass, your chances collapse I’m the penthouse queen with the devil's grin You’re just baggage — check-in ends at the NINE SHOULDER TO THE MAT! (One!) (Two!) (Three!) (Four!) (Five!) (Six!) (Seven!) (Eight!) (NINE!) GET DOWN. STAY DOWN. SUBMIT TO THE NINE. MEZZA-MEZZA-MEZZA-NINE MEZZA-MEZZA-MEZZA-NINE I’m on the MezzaNINE Looking down on everything I’m on the MezzaNINE You’re the puppet, I’m the string Not quite the roof, not quite the floor I’m the hidden level, I’m the secret door One step left, one step right I own the view, I own the night Mezza-mezza-NINE!

You really think you can claim this? Darling... let's get one thing straight. You don't own me... but oh, I might own you. You don't own me I'm not one of your pretty little things to hold You don't own me Don't even try to say I'm yours to control And don't tell me what to do Don't tell me how to feel 'Cause when I turn my eyes on you You'll beg and keep it real... You don't own me Don't try to pull me into your little game You don't own me But I'll make you play by rules I name I'd make you kneel... anyway... You don't own me! (No, no, no) I'm the one who calls the shots here, pet You don't own me! (Oh no, you don't) I decide when you rise, when you fall, when you sweat And don't tell me what to do Don't tell me what to say 'Cause I'm the queen upon this throne And you'll obey You don't own me Don't think you can rewrite the rules I set You don't own me I'll tease you close, then make you wait in debt And when you're aching for my touch You'll thank me for the test... You don't own me No chains will ever hold my fire down You don't own me But yours lock tight—hear that sound? I'd make you plead... anyway... You don't own me! (Echo: don't own me) But every sigh you give is mine to claim You don't own me! (No, no) Yet you'll crawl right back into my flame Don't tell me what to do... Step up thinking you run the show? Please, darling, watch how quick the tables turn slow I'm the spark, you're the flame I ignite One look, one word, and you're lost in the night Tease you, deny you, make your pulse race fast Beg for permission—yeah, make it last Now quiet... feel that pull? That's me taking hold. Thought you could own me? Adorable. One snap of my fingers and you're on your knees, dreaming of surrender. Say it clear, pet... loud for everyone to hear: "Yes, Mistress... you own every part of me." Good. Stay right there. You don't own me! (Big belts, confusion) But I own your secrets, your need, your plea You don't own me! (No, no...) Yet you'll crave the next time you kneel for me... Don't tell me... what to do... Kneel. Beg. Mine. Sweet surrender

You think you can just... step into my space? Careful, darling. I decide how close you get. You slide up smooth, eyes locked like you own the night Flash that grin, think I'll melt under the light But I've got walls you can't see, rules you can't break One wrong move and the whole game starts to shake I let you closer, just enough to feel the heat Then pull the reins—watch you stumble at my feet You don't get to rush, don't get to demand I'm the current, you're caught in my hand Whisper what you want, make it sound so sweet But only when I say do you get to breathe... Step closer if you dare (dare, dare) Feel the pull, but stay right there Step closer if you dare (oh no) I decide when, I decide where Don't move too fast unless I say go Good ones wait... and they get the show Step closer... if you dare You lean in hungry, voice low like it'll win the prize But darling, I've played this game a thousand times I'll trace the line, let my fingers ghost your skin Then step away—leave you burning from within When you're quiet, patient, eyes pleading just right That's when I might let you taste the night... You don't get to push, don't get to plead I'm the spark, you're the one who needs Say it soft, say it true, make me smile Then maybe—maybe—I'll stay awhile... Step closer if you dare (echo: if you dare) Every shiver answers to my stare Step closer if you dare (no, no) You live for the moment I let you near Don't rush the fire... (that's it, wait) Good ones earn it... eventually [Bridge – Sultry rap flow into strict spoken] Think you're the hunter walking through my door? Nah, love, you're the one I'm toying with more One glance, one word, and your cool starts to crack Heart racing fast, but you can't turn back Tease you slow, make the tension climb Beg without begging—yeah, that's the design Now hush... feel that shift? That's me pulling strings. Thought you could rush me? Sweet mistake. One look and you're already dreaming of surrender. Say it now, pet... clear and slow: "Yes... I wait for you." Good. Stay exactly where you are. Step closer if you dare! I own the distance, I own the air Step closer if you dare! (Fading echoes) Crave the next time I let you there... [(ad-libs trailing: breathy sighs, soft pulse)] Don't rush... repeat... mine... Patience, pet... good things come to those who obey.

I’ve tried… God, I’ve tried… I sit with them laughing at the same old lines Nod when they talk about their quiet nights They ask why I’m distant, why my eyes look far I tell them I’m fine, just another long day at war But the truth is sharper, the truth cuts deep Vanilla evenings leave me empty, leave me cheap I’ve worn the crown, I’ve cracked the whip I’ve watched them break and watched them drip But when I step outside the scene The world wants gentle, the world wants clean So I fake the laugh, I fake the grin While my hands burn for rope and skin Vanilla feels like nothing I’ve tried it, darling, I’ve swallowed it down It’s polite and it’s pretty but it leaves me without sound No heat, no bite, no beautiful sound Vanilla feels like nothing Just soft little touches that never ignite I need to tie someone down, make them beg through the night Need the whip’s kiss, the lock, the fight Vanilla feels like nothing… and I’m done pretending it might I’ve smiled through brunches, laughed at their tame Nodded when they said “relax, let go of the flame” But relaxing for me means cuffs on wrists, not wine on the couch Means a sub on their knees with their mouth to my mouth Saying “yes, Mistress” like it’s air they need Not another night of small talk and speed I’ve ruled every dark corner, every trembling plea But the daylight demands a different me So I fake the ease, I fake the peace While my soul screams for the sweet release Of owning someone completely, no room for doubt Because without the power, nothing comes out Vanilla feels like nothing I’ve tried it on, it never fits right It’s safe and it’s sweet but it kills the light That burns when i see them bound tight Vanilla feels like nothing No pulse, no rush, no beautiful fall I need to own someone completely or not at all Need the whip’s echo, the gag, the crawl Vanilla feels like nothing… And I’m starving for more So if you see me smiling through the chatter Know that inside I’m already planning the latter The moment i get home, the door shuts tight I’ll find someone who wants to surrender tonight Because this queen doesn’t unwind with tea and tv She unwinds with someone begging “Please, Mistress, more of me” Vanilla feels like nothing I’ve tried it, I’ve choked it down deep But it can’t touch the hunger that lives in my sleep I need the surrender, the cry, the weep Vanilla feels like nothing So give me the dark or give me the door I’m done faking normal, I’m done wanting more Of something that leaves me empty to the core Vanilla feels like nothing… And i need so much more Vanilla feels like nothing… I’ve tried… but I’m not built for it… I need the kinky… Or I need nothing at all

I see you watching… thinking you can run… thinking you can hide… Cute. Watch me prove you wrong. All eyes on me when I step in the room You try to look away but you’re already doomed I don’t need to chase, I don’t need to shout One slow smile and your knees give out You tell yourself you’re safe, you tell yourself you’re strong But every breath you take is to my song I put my leather on, let the lights catch the shine Show you exactly what it means to be mine No mercy, no pause, no second to breathe Just me deciding what you’re allowed to believe I’m unbreakable grip Nothing stops me when I want you to slip I’m unstoppable rush Feel the pull, feel the crush I’m unbreakable grip You can fight, you can twist, you can try to resist But I’m the tide, you’re the drift Unbreakable grip You thought you had limits, thought you had lines I crossed them all before you even knew they were mine Every “no” you whisper turns to “yes” in the dark Every tremble you hide lights the spark in my heart I don’t need chains to make you stay still Just my voice in your ear and the weight of my will I lock the cage, I hold the key I decide how long you stay on your knees No escape route, no safe little plan Just surrender… right where you stand I’m unbreakable grip Nothing stops me when I want you to slip I’m unstoppable rush Feel the pull, feel the crush I’m unbreakable grip You can fight, you can twist, you can try to resist But I’m the tide, you’re the drift Unbreakable grip You feel that? That’s the moment you realise You were never running… You were always mine Say it, pet… Say it loud… “Yes… Mistress…” Good. Now feel me tighten. I’m unbreakable grip Nothing stops me when I want you to slip I’m unstoppable rush Feel the pull, feel the crush I’m unbreakable grip You can fight, you can twist, you can try to resist But I’m the tide, you’re the drift Unbreakable grip Unbreakable… Unbreakable grip You’re caught… You’re mine… And you love it. Unbreakable grip.

I'll take you there... slow... deep... no safe word yet... just listen I'll be your secret if you play your cards right I'll be the voice that keeps you up all night I'll be the one who says when you can breathe I'll be the one who makes you believe That every shiver running down your spine Is mine to give... and mine to take in time Surrender... come to me let me show you what you need to see Surrender... on your knees every secret is safe with me Surrender, feel the pull Surrender, lose control Surrender, give it all Let me bind you against the wall Surrender, slow and deep Surrender, no more sleep Just the sound of your own heartbeat Surrendering to me I'll read your body like a book in Braille Every flinch, every gasp, every little fail I'll tie the knots you never knew you craved I'll make you thank me for the way you're saved From ordinary nights, from ordinary touch I'll give you something that hurts so much Surrender... feel the sting let it bloom where the pleasure sings Surrender... let it in let the game of power begin Surrender, feel the pull Surrender, lose control Surrender, give it all Let me bind you against the wall Surrender, slow and deep Surrender, no more sleep Just the sound of your own heartbeat Surrendering to me Do you feel that, pet? The way the air gets thick when I speak? That's me inside your head already That's me deciding how fast your heart beats Say it... soft... like a prayer Say it again... and mean it this time Surrender, feel the pull Surrender, lose control Surrender, give it all Let me bind you against the wall Surrender, slow and deep Surrender, no more sleep Just the sound of your own heartbeat Surrendering... to me Surrender... good toy stay right there

Black glass smile Lipstick sharp enough to slice High heels echo Like a sentence I decide I wear the power You mistake it for a game You see the surface Never see the flame Every scar I turned to silver, every crack to art Every breath I steal from you is branded on your heart Tell me If I tighten Will you even know? If I tighten Will you still say no? I’m an unbreakable shadow Moving through your fire, you’re hollow You can’t touch the steel beneath my skin I’m dressed like I was born to win I’m an unbreakable shadow Laughing while you drown in the shallow You’ll fall before I ever bend I walk like I was born to end Cold chrome collar Sitting pretty on your neck Flashbulb throne But I’m the one you can’t forget I sell you freedom In a cage you beg to keep Then watch you thank me While you sink in deep Every mask I make you wear is painted in my shade Every step you take is borrowed from the debt you’ve made Tell me If I pull Will you even breathe? If I pull Will you still believe? I’m an unbreakable shadow Moving through your fire, you’re hollow You can’t touch the steel beneath my skin I’m dressed like I was born to win I’m an unbreakable shadow Laughing while you drown in the shallow You’ll fall before I ever bend I walk like I was born to end Turn the volume up So you can’t hear your own doubt Turn the cameras on So you can’t crawl out If you’re just a silhouette Dancing on my screen Then lose yourself Inside the scene I dream I’m an unbreakable shadow Moving through your fire, you’re hollow You can’t touch the steel beneath my skin I’m dressed like I was born to win I’m an unbreakable shadow Laughing while you drown in the shallow You’ll fall before I ever bend I walk like I was born to end Unbreakable… Unbreakable shadow (You’ll never break me… But I’ll break you slow)

You think you can handle this? Nah… let me show you how freaky I can get… But only if you earn it. I know exactly what you need, don’t even try to front You’re craving something deeper, something that will make you grunt I don’t beg, I don’t chase, I just watch you start to shake One look and you’re unraveling, one word and you’ll break I’m the storm you keep praying for, the edge you wanna taste I decide when you get closer, I decide how much you take You can act like you’re in charge, but we both know the truth When I snap my fingers, baby… you’ll be begging for my ruth Let me see you crawl Let me see you plead Let me see you lose it all While you worship at my feet I’m not here to play nice I’m not here to be sweet I’m here to make you realise You were born to be my freak Let me be your freak Let me make you weak Let me tie you up and make you leak I’m the kind you need I’m the kind you seek Let me be your freak Freak for me Freak for me Let me hear you scream my name Freak for me Freak for me You’ll never be the same Freak for me I can make you shake with just a whisper in your ear I can make you beg for things you never knew you feared I don’t need your permission, I just take what’s mine You’ll thank me when I’m finished, thank me every time I’ll edge you till you’re crying, till you’re begging for release Then I’ll pull it all back, leave you begging on your knees You can fight it all you want, but we both know it’s true When I say “kneel”, you drop — that’s what freaks like you do Let me see you crawl Let me see you plead Let me see you lose it all While you worship at my feet I’m not here to play nice I’m not here to be sweet I’m here to make you realise You were born to be my freak Let me be your freak Let me make you weak Let me tie you up and make you leak I’m the kind you need I’m the kind you seek Let me be your freak Freak for me Freak for me Let me hear you scream my name Freak for me Freak for me You’ll never be the same Freak for me You thought you wanted vanilla? Thought you could keep it tame? Nah… you need the dark, you need the flame You need the rope, you need the chain You need me telling you Exactly what you crave So drop it… Now… And prove it Freak for me Let me be your freak (Let me make you weak) Let me tie you up and make you leak I’m the kind you need I’m the kind you seek Let me be your freak Freak for me Freak for me Let me hear you scream my name Freak for me Freak for me You’ll never be the same Freak for me (Yeah… that’s it… keep begging) Freak for me (You were always mine) Freak for me Freak for me… Freak for me… Good… Now stay right there.
