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: Him
I never was the best/I couldn't jump the highest/I didn't talk the smoothest/I didn't dress the flyest/but I was destined to write for myself a better story/with no more coming in last/and endings better for me/I knew the game and how to play it/I just needed a miracle to help me find a way in/that's when I saw a girl/a living, breathing constellation/shining, naked/queen of love/taking hearts, no hesitation/(waiting)/patient/she placed my hand upon the her chest and told me "press hard"/said "this is what it feels like for you to chase the stars"/I couldn't fathom ever giving up this feeling/my feet touching the floor/my spirit's through the ceiling/pulling me up with her/to a place that I had never been/she was my savior/she was my heroin(e)/my great escape/out of sight/out in space/and I'm in it for the thrill of the chase
Chorus:
And I Know/oh I Know/Yes I Know This Is Where We Belong
Cause we are/yeah we are/now we are/chasing stars/till they're gone/
Verse 2: Her
I knew my way around/but still I felt alone/what would it mean to leave?/to roam without a home/I had the gift of love/but no one else to give it to/going through the motions/with no emotion is difficult/but I could sense the change/so it was time to leave/onto another world/a different galaxy/I flew for days/’Til I saw a bird caged/and decided to help him get on his way/amazing grace/I placed his hand on to my chest and told him "press hard"/said "this is what it feels like to go and chase the stars"/I saw a look inside his eyes that said he needed a friend/he needed me/I needed him/together we were the perfect blend/i took him high where the stars shine the brightest/and the hearts beat the hardest/from the thinkers and the artists/I started/to throw my passion back in the race/the queen of love/the king of hearts/and the thrill of the chase/Yes!
Chorus:
And I Know/oh I Know/Yes I Know This Is Where We Belong
Cause we are/yeah we are/now we are/chasing stars/till they're gone x2
Bridge: Them
- and every day was better than the next/
- and every touch was better on the flesh/
- when the life you know is filled with bitter rules
- You make your own and find a better truth
- Just me & you/living through a dream
- Voyagers, suspended in a sunbeam
- asking for a world that we know
-[and] running from a world that we//don’t…
Verse 3: Them
He was a lost spirit (M)
She always liked to roam (W)
He couldn't find his way (M)
To her the world was her home (W)
He thought that life was corrupt (M)
She saw the beauty in it (W)
They were a tale as old as time (M)
And they loved every minute (W)
He found a life inside her (M)
She found a home inside him (W)
They saw their fantasy start (M)
And their reality end (W)
It was a meeting of the mind, heart, body, and soul (M)
To cherish, have and to hold (W)
He felt his confidence grow (M)
She put her hand on his chest and told him "press hard" (W)
Said "this is what it feels like for us to chase stars" (M)
So no more chasing what's lost (W)
We must embrace something new (M)
Now place your hand inside mine/so we can re-paint the moon (W)
And into orbit they flew (M)
With it intelligence grew (W)
They felt their lust was the key (M)
They knew their love was the glue (W)
They came a long way from everything they've known/so the star chase had brought them back home/ (M)
Where hearts roam (T)
(Break)
Chorus:
And I Know/oh I Know/Yes I Know This Is Where We Belong
Cause we are/yeah we are/now we are/chasing stars/till they're gone/

Don’t (Let) Her Trap You x4
Verse 1:
They say if you struggle/
That it helps to be humble/
But that hope ain’t enough/
When them problems keep coming/
The good ones die young and/
I’ve been treated to that/
I’ve seen defeat try to creep but it won’t reach me like that/
They like to shoot your wings off/
Before you take your flight/
But my wheels don’t stop moving/
So I’m skating tonight
Won’t be chased by the plight/
Or be tamed by the hustle/
Most often people hate/
Because the haters love you
And they would just love to/
Be up in your position/
They need to fill their void with you cause their life has gone missing/
I can’t fall for temptation/
My love for life’s not proven/
She breaks even the strongest/
And I’ve seen her seduce ‘em/
So they call her a bitch/
But still they fall in love/
And they can’t get enough/
She is the anti-drug/
What they did to deserve her/
Has yet to be seen/
She’s so ugly inside/
Just like a beauty queen
~ Chorus ~
Welcome to the nightlife/where the good turn bad and the bad gets a whole lot worse
Welcome to the nightlife/where it takes one stroke just to get you hooked on the curse
Welcome to the nightlife/where a glare from the lights is enough to forget what is right
Welcome to the nightlife/where a kiss from this girl is enough to destroy your world
Verse 2:
She does her evil deeds/
Spewing her hate and venom/
But expect nothing less/
From this dangerous woman
She walks with a switch/
(With) her hand on her hips/
(Got) her taste in your mouth/
(And) her tongue on your lips
And on your fingertips/
Is the touch of the night/
It’s the charm of her smile/
The attention is nice
Now the flavor is ripe/
And you’ve taken your sample/
But that’s more than enough/
You’ve had all you can handle
But the damage is done/
There is no turning back/
Look how far we have come/
She is all that we lack/
She gives us everything/
Forever is better when fawning/
She looks over our flaws/
As long as we can keep ‘em coming/
She is poison by nature/
A toxic symbol of worship/
So everything that we’ve been through/
Shouldn’t seem like it’s worth it/
It’s the Woman we love/
or is it The Night?/
or is it The City?/
or is it The Life?
~ Bridge ~
~ Chorus ~
Welcome to the nightlife/where the good turn bad and the bad gets a whole lot worse
Welcome to the nightlife/where it takes one stroke just to get you hooked on the curse
Welcome to the nightlife/where a glare from the lights is enough to forget what is right
Welcome to the nightlife/where a kiss from this girl is enough to destroy your world
Welcome To The Nightlife x8

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
