When You Broke My Heart

🔊 Satin sheets still smell like sin– A Sin You Can Still Taste

A slow-burning ode to the kind of love that lingers long after it's gone.
"Satin sheets still smell like sin" dives deep into the space between desire and regret – where shadows kiss the skin, guilt feels like lace, and memories haunt like perfume on satin sheets.
For lovers of late-night confessions, smoky vocals, and bittersweet soul.

🎧 Written to ache. Sung to remember.

Satin sheets still smell like sin

[Verse 1]
Satin sheets still smell like sin
I trace your ghost across my skin
Swore I’d quit this kind of fire
But I still ache to burn again
You left your heat between my thighs
Now even daylight feels like lies

[Pre-Chorus]
I sip regret like morning wine
But I’d still taste you every time

[Chorus]
The aftertaste of you—
Lingers sweet and cruel
Like perfume on my pillow
Or a flame that never cools
No prayer can undo
What we did at half-past two
Still dripping in your shadow
No matter what I do

[Verse 2]
Ash on lips and tangled hair
My conscience waits, but I don’t care
You said my name like it was sin
Now I crave that voice again
I wear this guilt like Sunday lace
But miss the wreckage of your grace

[Bridge]
You were my sweetest damage
A thrill I’d choose again
A phantom in my bloodstream
Disguised as medicine
And every time I surface
You pull me back inside—
A spell I never asked for
But I never tried to fight

[Final Chorus]
The aftertaste of you—
Burns like something true
You branded me in silence
And I broke too soon
Still drunk on all we knew
Still shaking in your bloom
This ache won’t fade with time—
I live in the aftertaste of you

Satin sheets still smell like sin

“I Am Pure Fire” is a declaration, a seduction, a warning. A dark soul anthem forged in heat, hunger, and unapologetic self-possession.

This slow-burning alt-R&B track strips away softness and dives into the raw power of desire unbound. With smoky vocals, hypnotic rhythms, and lyrics that bite as they burn, the song embodies the moment when longing turns to flame — and never asks permission to consume.

This is not a love song.
This is transformation.
I don’t glow. I ignite.
I am pure fire.

I Am Pure Fire

[Intro]
I don’t flicker. I don’t plead.
I don’t wait. I don’t bleed.
I rise. I roar. I burn.
I am pure FIRE.

[Verse 1]
Don’t call me fragile just because I glow
My light is sharp, and it cuts slow
You wanted warmth—
But I brought the blaze
You touched my skin, and set your fate ablaze

[Pre-Chorus]
You mistook heat for healing hands
Now you drown in my demands
You thought desire was something tame
But I’m the spark that can’t be named

[Chorus]
I don’t melt, I ignite
I don’t chase, I bite
I don’t ask, I consume
Like incense thick in a red-lit room
I’m not your cure, I’m your trial
Sacred, raw, untamed and wild
No more sinner, no more liar—
I am pure FIRE

[Verse 2]
You prayed for love with holy shame
But I'm no saint, I don’t play tame
I don’t whisper, I don’t bow
I rise like smoke—look at me now

Your breath still carries my perfume
Ashes dancing in every room
And you still flinch when you hear my name
That’s not love. That’s flame.


[Pre-Chorus]
I gave no mercy, made no vow
I burned soft, I’m burning now
You wanted beauty with no cost—
But I was heat, and you got lost


[Chorus ]
I don’t melt, I ignite
I don’t chase, I bite
I don’t ask, I consume
Like incense thick in a red-lit room
I’m not your cure, I’m your trial
Sacred, raw, untamed and wild
Don’t confuse pain with desire—
I am pure FIRE


[Bridge ]
Strike the match.
Inhale the smoke.
Say my name… and lose control.
I don’t love. I burn.
And still… you return.


[Outro ]
You kissed the flame.
You knew the price.
You’ll carry me...
In every night.
I am pure FIRE.

Things That Matter

"Baby, I’m My Own Empire"
Step into a world where vulnerability transforms into an unshakeable kingdom. "Baby, I’m My Own Empire" explores the journey from seeking external validation to discovering an unbreakable inner strength. With haunting imagery and a soaring spirit, this track is a testament to resilience, the beauty of self-sovereignty, and the quiet thunder of a heart that refuses to burn for liars.

🎵 Baby, I’m My Own Empire

[Verse 1]
I used to kneel in ruins for the taste of praise
Let you carve your name in my golden face
You crowned me with silence, called it love
But darling, thrones don’t beg to be enough

[Pre-Chorus]
Now my steps echo like a warning bell
Each breath a law I wrote myself
You want a seat where you once played pyre—
But I don't burn for liars

[Chorus]
Baby, I’m my own empire
Silk and flame in every wire
No more begging just to feel desired
I rise alone, unclaimed, entire
Your love was smoke, mine’s wildfire
Baby, I’m—baby, I’m my own empire

[Verse 2]
You kissed like conquest, spoke in thrones
But I built beauty in my bones
A sovereign heart don’t break to please
And I don't bend for make-believe

[Pre-Chorus]
You see this gold? It's not your proof
It’s forged from nights I walked through truth
You lost your place when you admired
The glow and not the fire

[Chorus]
Baby, I’m my own empire
Velvet rage and sapphire choir
You fed me doubt, I dressed it finer
Now I wear grace like sharpened wire
You can't return to what you tired
Baby, I’m—baby, I’m my own empire

[Bridge – Spoken / half-sung, minimal instrumentation]
You thought I was yours to crown
But empires don’t answer to ghosts
You can haunt the gate
But I’ll never open it again

[Breakdown – whispered vocals, then rising]
Watch me rule in quiet thunder
Built from ache you failed to wonder
I don't need your hands, your name
This kingdom pulses in my flame

[Final Chorus – layered, powerful]
Baby, I’m my own empire
Silhouettes in sacred fire
No prince, no war, no false messiah
I rise alone—higher and higher
My blood, my voice, my own choir
Baby, I’m—baby, I’m my own empire

[Outro – soft, fading]
Don’t kneel, don’t call
You can’t climb these walls
I’m not yours to admire—
Baby, I’m my own empire

🎵 Baby, I’m My Own Empire
