Track 2 of Made in the Hills
[ Lyrics ]
You lead, I follow — no questions. You didn’t say my name, just held the door, silence like a key, slipped to the floor. Marble under heels, reflections split — I stepped into the room where words don’t fit. No toast, no small talk, no handshake plan, just your eyes on mine like a loaded hand. Breath steady, pulse low, but I know the cost — some games are won by who stays lost. You tilt your glass, I shift my stance, one move at a time, we’re learning the dance. You don’t ask, you just take the air — and I give it, because I’m already there. You lead, I follow — no questions. You breathe, I answer — no confession. You stop, I freeze — no protest. You want peace? I am the rest. You poured the wine but left it cold, a test in stillness, slow and bold. I watched the steam fade off the ledge, let my fingers graze the edge of the ledge. You smiled like you saw through the wall I built, like you knew I’d crack before I could tilt. So I stayed put, let the moment stretch — submission ain't weakness if it's what I fetch. You count the seconds, I count the beats, my heart in time with your quiet treats. No ring, no claim, no label, no name — just power that hums and plays the same. You lead, I follow — no questions. You breathe, I answer — no confession. You stop, I freeze — no protest. You want peace? I am the rest. No contract signed, no verbal vow, just the weight of a look and the ‘yes’ I allow. You don’t own me, you don’t hold chain — but I yield like silk to the flame. You lead, I follow — no questions. You breathe, I answer — no confession. You stop, I freeze — no protest. You want peace? I am the rest. You lead… I follow.
