Verse 1 My full self wrapped in binding, Knots woven tight with care, Layers wound up in secrets, I’d kept from open air. Each tether was familiar, A safeguard laced just so Braided from an existence, Of never letting go. You met me in the tangles, You pull each thread by hand, I eventually unraveled, In ways I’d never planned. With kind and mindful fingers, You learned the cords I’d spun, Found patterns in the knotted threads, And pulled them, one by one. Chorus In leather and lace, Bound tight, a rigid hold. With gentle hands you found me, And watched my wear unfold. Seeing my confining shell, You freed me from seclusion. Like butterfly from its cocoon, A most wanted intrusion. Verse 2 Your warmth against the bindings, A heat that melted through, And offered welfare carefully, Where once a tether grew. Now bound to you in freedom, Each tie a willing thread, I found in every binding knot A dream to hold instead. Bridge Emancipated from constraints, I could breathe anew, For you the laces fell away, You took my every cue. With ever assuring strength I’m freed from binding snare, And now I’m found in your embrace, And safely rest in there. Chorus In leather and lace, Bound tight, a rigid hold. With gentle hands you found me, And watched my wear unfold. Seeing my confining shell, You freed me from seclusion. Like butterfly from its cocoon, A most wanted intrusion. (instrumental outro)
