I remember like it was yesterday/ You had a powder blue dress on/ Waiting for me to say hi/ But the message always felt wrong/ My/friends kept telling me that you and I should meet/ It was fateful in the way that I caught you in the street/ I/saw your eyes and said hi/ You greeted with a hello/ And calmly made my crazy nerves mellow/ It was/sheer bliss/ An automatic can't miss/ I went in for the hug/ But you caught me with a kiss/ On the/cheek/ Twas a triple shot of adrenaline/ Knew from the first touch, there was no feeling that is better than/ This/sending my senses into a twist/ Combined with the Summer love in your lips/ A twinge in your hips/ A swagger in your walk/ A lady with the hottest little body in New York/ There was no time for talk/ There was no time for waiting/ This was the first day in our much awaited oasis/ And with every shot taken/ Our choices were getting clearer/ Eyes were getting much wider/ And voices were drawing nearer/ I'd always double you up/ Make sure the feeling would last/ Cause every time we'd connect felt like a shot into the past/ You were Mrs. Mary Wells/ I was Mr. David Ruffin/ You felt like death to the legends / Still mixed with that extra something/ Something I can't let go of/ Even if I had wanted/ Even if it had made you hate the man I was becoming/ Plunging/ Sinking deeper/ Needing you during every free weekend/ Kissing you & pinching me to make sure I wasn't dreaming/ That was it/ Me and You/ Fulfilling our prediction/ Overdosing on love/ And renewing our prescription/ They couldn't get us to listen/ The people in our life/ Begging for us to stop/ They'd say that it wasn't right/ (Shit) maybe that's why we'd fight and rip each other apart/ Why is love always different in the head than in the heart?/ I don't know/ But that ain’t stop us from trying/ Every time we would leave/ We would only be lying/ To ourselves/ To our health/ To everything that we built/ See loving you was a thrill/ But leaving you was a skill/ That I had to learn to develop/ In order to get better/ But one thing I'd never say/ Is that I wish I never met her/ Everyday’s an adventure/ That brought out the best in me/ She's My Devil & My Angel purer than ____ (Baby I'm Here)

Verse 1: One time for the prime of our lifetime Take it all in now/don't look back Two times for the woman with the white mind One line, Two bills, trip stacks Four long days/Five lost souls And a mountain of love built sky high Run away from the truth, we still do With the help of a couple pretty white lies Sinister scams. SummerTime schemes. DownTown thoughts. UpTown dreams. Girl meets boy. Boy meets world. They meet sin. Pleasure unfurls. It's the time of our youth that we can't resist You plant this on your lips then plant a kiss It’s this bliss that you're in That I do recommend ‘Til you feel that you cannot feel again - Chorus - Starlight Sun we call tonight To blend ourselves in Summer's eye Verse 2: Pick it up/right where we left off Take the next step/play the next song A new day means a new way to feel live Put the bass on top/make the beat rise As we drown in the sounds of paradise Sunshine at night, that's the glare we like Let it seep in your senses The young and the restless Forget what it's like now to live with spite A couple more doses of the potion A couple more shots to the brain A little more time to erase regret Means a little less time to reject the pain But we know the game And we love the sport So we play to win And we hold the court As the kings and queens of the underground scene Coming up with the plan to rule the world - 2nd chorus - Angel wings we call tonight For all the doves we lost in life Verse 3: In that moment For that second There's no doubts And no questions No time to worry about the time you missed When you're too busy tryna make the present stick Take a hit Make a wish Face the facts of life We indulge in the joy through our favorite vice And loosen our grip on the world we know To enter a place where we can... Singing: lose ourselves in all time/enjoy the moment/as you dance inside of this light/Become the catalyst for everything that you feel/and you will surely know that/this is just what love is as we place nothing above it singing... - 3rd chorus - Paradise we call tonight To blend ourselves in Heaven’s eye Bless the child who lives through light & celebrate with Lofticries

Verse 1: You don't want to fall in love with me/ Those were the first words I heard from your lips/ Playing Russian roulette with every kiss/ Regret inside of bliss/ Too wet to ever slip/ But the sex wasn't even the best part of the trip// Understand, cause I do/ Love, sweat, and survival/ Writing scriptures with tongues was the way we enjoyed the Bible/ The only 2 in the congregation/ We’d be preaching our forever while enjoying the spoils of now and never/ (See) It couldn't happen any other way/ The way I lit up your night/ The way you brightened my day/ Everything in between was a dream/ And waking up was a nightmare/ So we just settled upon the white air/ A lesson learned is a lesson earned/ Indulging in the kind of passion that watches the skin burn/ That madness left us ecstatic/ But tragedy still occurred/ In the midst of all those pretty words/ I heard the voice of phoenix/ Hiding behind the shadow of a demon/ Revealing that me & you lived in between them/ ([See] we couldn't leave it...alone) Verse 2: We were meant to remain a mystery/ Fighting up against father time and mother misery/ Sisters and brothers went undercover to mention we/ Had gotten way out of our league/ They couldn't manage the fact that we were a dynasty/ So they retreated to start deceiving/ Seething that we weren't leaving each other alone/ To find out what we were needing/ Our meaning was greater than anything that they could have gave us/ So we cut the snakes in the grass and traded all of the traitors/ I bet They wish they had a love like this/where obsession is a drug/ And boredom doesn't exist/ Some would say/ That we were too stuck, set in our ways/ But when cloud 9 just ain't enough/ You have to raise/ The stakes/ Whatever it takes to keep us awake/ Alive and out in space/ Forever our mind state/ What a place/ Corruption is always better than nothing/ And loving you was the cherry on top of all of my blunders/ But I wonder? What if those people were on to something? What if we were destructive? (And) what if we can't be trusted/anymore...? Verse 3: This isn't supposed to be a simple game/ This is the art of love & war/ And it bares your name/ Dragging my heart into the fire/ Couldn’t fan the flame/ Digging for truth in a barrel of lies/ While tryna fight back 1000 goodbyes/ I/tried to love too much in the beginning/ Never once affected by the threat of becoming distant/ Though I knew/ We had gotten/ Too close for comfort/ Too bold to fuck with/ Too high to function/ You went from crush to crutch/ Keeping up wasn't enough/ I got addicted to an addict of lust/ For/better or worse/ I tried to make the shit work/ You put my soul in a hearse/ And dumped it in back of a church/ “Here, Lies Another Victim Of The Black Widow” Watching you laugh while I'm yelling out of heaven's window/ Silly me for think your skin would let my sins go/ Silly you for thinking it's over between our egos/ We grow/ Through the chaos of our powerful past/ Til death do us apart and life reopens our path/ We’re built to last....

-immerse yourself in your wisdom and the very beginnings - that left you naked and only hungry for recognition - back in the day, the only goal was to get away - stacking the bricks of confidence so you could build a name - now let us take it back - get married to nostalgia - how we would shape the clouds in the sky for several hours - before the storms came - even in pouring rain - we had learned to live and without doubt and free of pain - and even though our lives have changed - I can still smell the subtle way your breath would trace my name - destined for everything that made us feel so alive - that made us feel like a night full of sex, liquor, & lines - that made us feel like the sinning was worth all of the time - that we spent tryna find/an honest way to the top - it's too bad we had to stop/cause I was just starting to get my mind blown - now I navigate through this world alone/But know… My body's where you left it/ and I wouldn't trade a second for the life I had before you drew your weapons/you left/to let me die on the halfway mark to a high/sitting next to a hooker with a priest between her thighs/disguise/life as a contradiction/and that habit gets addicting/it's the feeling no saint or sinner can kick in/kick it/can I?/as I fly on the red eye/from BKNY/to the land of the Jedi/it’s easy to learn your lesson/after you burn through a blessing/and teaching babies to walk/don't mean they follow direction/I press/my innocence firmly up on your chest/and watch your eyes as they capture the light/a life without stress/I share (see) your vision through the same prism/with the world up on our shoulders/we're carrying on tradition/through/sickness and health/my matrimony is wealth/and though my actions are quiet/the passion speaks for itself/(never let [it] go...)

baby, you caught me and taught me that life is such an intricate web spun my heart in circles and toyed with my head I picked the poison from your lips knowing the death kiss was your best kiss asking for life on every next wish you attracted me to your tragedy living for every moment While mastering all your sadness you constantly felt the burden of trying to find your purpose and even with all your drama I always thought you were worth it now I hurdle the struggle of a mother losing her daughter a brother losing his sister always estranged from your father the hardest part of addiction is admitting it's a sickness and you'd rather live that lie than exist outside of your prison Maybe it wasn't worth it maybe I lost my way too maybe we could have fixed it or maybe I shouldn't blame you maybe it was all my fault losing sight of what made you so fucking beautiful the coolest soul trapped in the same noose I tried to save you but you were too busy playin' the hero investing every day as you eagerly watched the years go by & by we couldn't say bye, bye now leaving is not an option so why would we even try? we lied to ourselves every day that we stayed with the pain of monotony always jogging our brain of what could have been had we triggered a different course but of course nothing could force us into a divorce of any part of our history we were used to the disappointment so we started to like the misery It was the mystery that kept us alive but those secrets turned into shadows and you kept ‘em inside/ demons under your bed skeletons in your closet while you withdrew your emotions mine made a deposit we parted ways in this game of love politics wondering how it felt to be honest you had forgotten it i tried to figure life without you in the picture tearing myself apart but still knowing I'm gonna miss the daily sickness of fucking, fighting, and kissing the biting, scratching, and clawing and breaking all of the dishes just wishing that we were normal but knowing no better feeling loving, leaving, and learning the cycle that we experience (it's) the kind of pain that nobody should have to deal with but the scars of love & war prove that nothing out is real as this you were a puzzle missing pieces still masking your hurt and the thought of finishing you is what grabbed me at first but my addiction can no longer go on cause the needle that drips your notes has lost its favorite song Baby I'm gone… …that’s it baby I’m gone… ….goodbye
