The door is locked, the curtains drawn The gentleman you knew is gone Kneel before me, gaze on the floor Begging for less, yet craving for more My hand is cold upon your skin Tracing the lines of where we begin A shiver runs down, a beautiful fright Welcome, my love, to the endless night Oh, the sweetest pain, the darkest love A velvet glove, an iron shove I break you down to build you new Every mark I leave belongs to you It hurts, I know, but don't you see? This agony is how you’re free Scream my name, let the tears rain Bound by love and velvet chains Leather and lace, a perfect design Your body is art, and the canvas is mine I’ll steal your breath, I’ll hold it tight Pushing you to the edge of the light A sting on your skin, a kiss on your tear I am your savior, I am your fear Don't say the word, don't stop the flow Just let the colors of submission show Trust in the hand that holds the whip Trust in the silence, grip by grip I will not break you, I’ll make you whole I own your body, I keep your soul Hush now, quiet, the storm is done The battle is over, and I have won Rest in my arms, let the bruises fade This is the beautiful mess we made Velvet chains... forever remains
