Like That Tho?

I found our spot
she said it was hidden
between our last decision
and me
you are not locked off to anyone
I think any one
except me
accept me
you're like that
you're like that
I smell like black girl
black around our lips
black around your voice
black i say black
found it sticks to the back
of my eyelids
kids say it with me now black
black
black
black
but only if you think it’s a good thing
the greatest thing
since maybe water
we’re like that
you're like that
you're like that
you're like that
why am I like that?
who made me that way
what’s the fiction in the fact?
who wrote it that way?
where’s my pat on the back?
I crave it today?
what’s the math on the facts?
who felt it that way?
what I gained what I lack?
who made me this way?
you more this or that?
who made you that way?
Did a fine job with that.
for real? who made you that way
I got the message from your app.
your thumbs like tap
can’t correct automat
can’t spell the smell black?
contort my shape into that
trigger this trigger that
why are we like that
who made us this way?
do I remind of your past?
who hurt you that d ay?
when I burn I turn to ash
still smelling like cash
keyloyds branded all our flesh
marked the genes with the past
who did it this way
I failed you daily on our path
who made him that way?

Infinince or Infinity

Let’s say that you are happy / you left the skies of Paris
Lets say you don’t have much time / Fires burns your lies
Let’s say your head is in the clouds / and you change your charm depending on the crowd
Of course you're anywhere but inside your banalities.
Of course you’re everywhere except where you’re supposed to be
And I've determined that it’s in your dreams
or in infinity
or maybe in insanity
or in her dreams
yes you belong in her dreams
thats where to be
cause its
beautiful in your dreams
I love your dreams
as long as they include me
tell me that I’m in your dreams
please tell me that you dream of me…
Let’s pray that you are damned
the girl part of you
you don't understand
Let’s pray you grazed by me
we're so in love with secretes aren't we?
And let’s pray that i'm between stay and leave
and reciprocity you don't know
what that means
And let’s pray that i can forget
and try and feel what will come next.
Let’s say that
You were some dust
And you were swept away
By some real strong wind one night
Where have you landed?
If not in my fragile sky.
chorus Same Changes
And I've determined that it’s in your dreams
or in infinity
or maybe in insanity
or in her dreams
yes you belong in her dreams
thats where to be
cause its
beautiful in your dreams
I love your dreams
as long as they include me
tell me that I’m in your dreams
please tell me that you dream of me…
Today I wore the same clothes
The ones with the pain on
Cut from the same cloth
These kind don’t come off
I’m in the mirror and I can’t believe
I’m the same as the old me
What’s the use i’ma die alone
Same mistake same song
Different daddy same mom
Same issues different cause for alarm
But now you dreaming of a new cat
With bread and status and all that
But wait for your boy for a few years
See what kind of decisions you make
when you living in fear
You’ll be through with him quickly
If not literally then metaphysically
And me I’ll still be around
In your head, when you lay down
In convenient I know it sounds glum
Im easier to dream about than I am to love.

My --- Love
05:41

She was dark and lovely
Didn’t see the crazy coming
Didn’t see the beauty leavin’
Didn’t see nuthin really
It was all a blur
Me and her
Million miles per
We in love and do not care
Masochistic fix
Me hurtin’ me
She hurtin’ she
Equal opportunity
Damaging my sanity
Thinkin we could make it work
That’s complacency
Nth degree
L.O.V.E
Me an arrogant fool
She was an unstable too
Check her circumstance
Fatherless no chance
Plus she the strong headed type
Fisti cuffs when we fight
Swinging wild that’s her style
Her bite match her bark woo chyled
Now we done
And free
Used all our mercy
Ain’t seen her in a year
That’s how its gotta be
Cause unfortunatly
That’s the intensity, my first l.O.V.E
My first love 8x
Feeding on each other and loving every minute / still not grown / still not grown // tasted like right at first but in the end its wrong / still not grown / still not grown….
She was dark and lovely / but I saw the crazy coming / did it anyway cause she was fine what can I say / I was / passive aggressive undressed all of the above / we thought we were in love
And we were right / for a second and no more / she strung me along through her peace and her wars / what for? / went from sleeping on the couch to the bed to the floor / flew through her life big bird condor
She often said my heart wanders / and that she couldn't ponder / romance / intercourse I wonder / if she was correct well yes my heart wanders / but far more careful than hers
As it were she was only sort of with me / and fully with whomever was in deed / in need of her lovely / except of course me / as you would expect my 7th… I think my 7th l.Ov.E
And that’s love 8x
Just so you know the lust is still fresh / still not grown // I want you simply // and even now you could care less / what a joke / a terrible joke.. Hahaha… ha ha ha… ha ha ha haaaaa…

Things I Never Had
02:28

I used to be affectionate / I’ve seen you cold and naked
warmed you with my kindness / We had a strong attachment
It withstood the distance and the wind / The lust and the sin
It was heaven from beginning to the end
But don’t believe what I’ve said / I might leave you mislead
Cause my dreams are very powerful / and I often miss
things I never had / things I never had
things I never had / things I never had
I miss knowing your brain and where it bends
I miss knowing your soul and where it lives
I miss knowing your hips and their motions
and I miss reading your thoughts I’m clairvoyant
I keep expecting to turn a corner and see you there smiling
But that has yet to happen so I wonder where and when
I love you very much but I’m not sure that you exist or ever did
I pray that you did / live inside my head
But don’t believe a word that I’ve said
Cause my dreams are very powerful / and I often miss
things I never had...
missed you, even though, you were not there.
started a war, all inside my head.
all inside my head
all inside my head
all inside my head
all inside my head
