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....
